Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is an emerging viral caused by a member of the betacoronavirus family, SARS-CoV-2. Since its' emergence in December 2019, it has rapidly close to half million fatalities globally. Data regarding impact on pregnancy are limited. Here, we review pathological findings placentas from women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 as well information outcomes associated with related and highly pathogenic coronaviruses (ie, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-COV) Middle East syndrome, MERS). We present immune-inflammatory correlates role Renin Angiotensin System pathogenesis pregnancy. Greater understanding placenta will yield important insight into potential therapeutic interventions pregnant COVID-19.

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected more than 10 million people, including pregnant women. To date, no consistent evidence for vertical transmission SARS-CoV-2 exists. novel canonically utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) receptor and serine protease TMPRSS2 cell entry. Herein, building upon our previous single-cell study (Pique-Regi et al., 2019), another study, new single-cell/nuclei RNA-sequencing data, we investigated expression ACE2 throughout pregnancy in placenta as well third-trimester chorioamniotic membranes. We report that co-transcription is negligible placenta, thus not a likely path SARS-CoV-2. By contrast, receptors Zika virus cytomegalovirus, which cause congenital infections, are highly expressed placental types. These data show minimally expresses canonical cell-entry mediators

Importance

Epidemiologic studies suggest maternal immune activation during pregnancy may be associated with neurodevelopmental effects in offspring.

Objective

To evaluate whether utero exposure to SARS-CoV-2 is risk for disorders the first 12 months after birth.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This retrospective cohort study examined live offspring of all mothers who delivered between March September 2020 at any 6 Massachusetts hospitals across 2 health systems. Statistical analysis was performed from October December 2021.

Exposures

Maternal infection confirmed by a polymerase chain reaction test pregnancy.

Main Outcomes Measures

Neurodevelopmental determined fromInternational Classification Diseases Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10)diagnostic codes over life; sociodemographic clinical features offspring; drawn electronic record.

Results

The included 7772 births (7466 pregnancies, 96% singleton, 222 positive mothers), mean (SD) age 32.9 (5.0) years; were 9.9% Asian (772), 8.4% Black (656), 69.0% White (5363); 15.1% (1134) Hispanic ethnicity. Preterm delivery more likely among exposed mothers: 14.4% (32) vs 8.7% (654) (P = .003). positivity greater rate diagnoses unadjusted models (odds ratio [OR], 2.17 [95% CI, 1.24-3.79];P .006) as well those adjusted race, ethnicity, insurance status, sex, age, preterm status (adjusted OR, 1.86 1.03-3.36];P .04). Third-trimester larger magnitude 2.34 1.23-4.44];P .01).

Conclusions Relevance

found preliminary evidence that sequelae some Prospective longer follow-up duration will required exclude confounding confirm these associations.

Associations between influenza infection and psychosis have been reported since the eighteenth century, with acute 'psychoses of influenza' documented during multiple pandemics. In late 20th reports a season-of-birth effect in schizophrenia were supported by large-scale ecological sero-epidemiological studies suggesting that maternal increases risk offspring. We examine evidence for association risk, before reviewing possible mechanisms via which this may be conferred. Maternal immune activation models implicate placental dysfunction, disruption cytokine networks subsequent microglial as potentially important pathogenic processes. More recent neuroimmunological advances focusing on neuronal autoimmunity following provide basis model infection-induced psychosis, implicating to schizophrenia-relevant protein targets including N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor. Finally, we outline areas future research relevant experimental approaches consider whether current provides rational development strategies prevent schizophrenia.

Neonates born have higher rate complications, early-onset neonatal sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, death, than those without FIRS. Survivors are long-term sequelae that may include bronchopulmonary dysplasia, neurodevelopmental disorders, cerebral palsy, retinopathy prematurity, sensorineuronal hearing loss. Experimental induced administration bacteria, microbial products (such endotoxin), interleukin-1), animal models provided important insights about mechanisms responsible multiple organ involvement dysfunction.

The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy on the developing fetal brain is poorly understood. Other antenatal infections such as influenza have been associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in offspring. Although vertical transmission has rarely observed SARS-CoV-2 to date, given potential for profound maternal immune activation (MIA), likely. Here we review evidence that and other viral can result maternal, placental, activation, ultimately offspring morbidity. Finally, highlight need cellular models development better understand short- long-term impacts next generation.
