SARS‐CoV‐2 and human milk: What is the evidence? 2020-05-30 .txt text/plain 5628 300 53 Of particular importance to global health is the possibility of vertical transmission from infected mothers to infants through breastfeeding or consumption of human milk. • Limited, weak evidence suggests that some coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2) may be present in human milk, but these studies do not report methods of sample collection and validation of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays for human milk. Of particular interest in this context are (1) the potential role that breastfeeding could play in vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from women to infants via human milk and (2) the potential protective effects of targeted antibodies and other immunoprotective components in human milk against COVID-19. Milk was submitted to the CDC, where it was analysed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTSearch terms, databases and preprint servers used to identify existing literature reporting the possibility of vertical transmission of coronaviruses from mother to infant during breastfeeding as of 17 April 2020 The infant in this study was never tested for SARS-CoV infection. ./cache/cord-346331-d0s028wl.txt ./txt/cord-346331-d0s028wl.txt
