Two additional mothers exhibited infection confirmed by positive RT-PCR testing at 28and 31-days pre-delivery but did not present detectable antibody reaction at the time of delivery. Thus, although the mother was considered cleared at 6 weeks after the onset of infection, which was confirmed by negative nasopharyngeal and stool SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests after delivery, we tested stool and pharynx swab samples from asymptomatic baby-girl D. Two additional babies and their mothers were tested at birth because the mothers had symptomatic infection, documented with positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR results, at 28 and 31 days before delivery, respectively. Despite the first newborn was asymptomatic and the screening performed as part of routine systematic testing, SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection through early nasopharyngeal sampling and the persistent detection of virus in stool strongly suggest possible vertical maternofetal infection. ./cache/cord-279223-qvih5qas.txt ./txt/cord-279223-qvih5qas.txt
