"Mother-to-child transmission" is the transmission of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, etc.) from mothers to babies. There are three types of mother-to-child infections: "infant infection" in which the baby is infected in the abdomen, "birth canal infection" which is transmitted when the baby begins to pass through the birth canal, and "breast milk infection". In most cases, certain infections during pregnancy can make the mother more severe, and the infection can affect the baby in the abdomen. Angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), which is a host-side receptor for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is expressed in placental cells. Currently, the new coronavirus infection disease-2019(COVID-19) has been a problem for an adverse effect on pregnancy. Most pregnant women hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 have mid-to late trimesters with favorable, not severe, outcomes. Previous clinical reports have revealed that mother-to-child transmission is rare. However, recently, a case was reported in which SARS-CoV-2 was transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. In this Short Comment, we would like to discuss new information about mother-to-child transmission of SARS-CoV-2, including new information.
