Description
Cansu Sivrikaya Yildirim and co-authors report a center's experience with a severe inflammatory syndrome in newborn babies, in a study from 2025. The syndrome can follow a mother's COVID-19 infection during pregnancy. It may come from antibodies crossing to the baby or from the baby's own late immune response.
Fifteen infants treated in one newborn intensive care unit over a year were reviewed. Eight of the mothers had COVID-19 while pregnant. All of the babies had heart involvement, such as rhythm problems, and most had breathing failure. Blood tests showed high levels of inflammation markers in every case. All were treated with steroids, immune globulin, or both. Two of the infants died. The authors stress early diagnosis and care.
