The RT-PCR tests was positive for amniotic fluid and neonate, suggesting the infant might have been affected intrauterine by COVID-19; therefore, once more, it raised the concerns regarding possible vertical transmission of the virus in mothers with serious illness. In some previous studies, the authors reported 21 healthy babies delivered by infected mothers to COVID-19, but they could not detect the virus in any of the feto-maternal parts namely placenta, amniotic fluid and cord blood [9] [10] [11] . The current case study, once again, raises concerns regarding possible vertical transmission of COVID-19 in pregnant women infected by SARS CoV-2 in contrast to the findings reported in some small studies published previously. ./cache/cord-304115-xs54f295.txt ./txt/cord-304115-xs54f295.txt
