  • OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and laboratory profile of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected neonates. METHOD: This is a review of hospital records, conducted in a tertiary care public hospital. Medical records of neonates born from 1 April, 2020 to 31 May, 2020 were reviewed. Women admitted in labor were screened for SARS-CoV-2 infection based on the guidelines issued by Indian Council for Medical Research. Neonates were tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection once mother tested positive, which was after day 2 of life. Demographic, clinical features, laboratory tests and chest radiographs of SARS-CoV-2 infected neonates were reviewed and neonates were telephonically followed up till the age of 2 months. RESULTS: Out of 1229 mothers, 185 tested positive (15.05%); 12 neonates (6.48%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. All neonates were exclusively breastfed. Symptoms, if any, were mild and self-limiting. Serum lactate dehydrogenase and liver enzymes were elevated. All neonates were healthy and thriving well on follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: SARS-CoV-2 infected neonates are mostly asymptomatic and thrive well on exclusive breastfeeding.
