SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers a significant maternal inflammatory response. There is dearth of information regarding whether at admission for delivery or vaccination an response in the fetus. This study aims evaluating fetal to compared control group. Design, Participants, Setting, and Methods: A prospective cohort was performed with total 61 pregnant women who presented single medical center (William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, MI). All mothers were tested using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on labor unit. Three groups evaluated: 22 positive test (case group), 23 negative (control 16 had recent SAR-CoV-2 (vaccine group). At delivery, cord blood collected determine levels IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), nucleocapsid IgG IgM antibodies. In all cases, newborn PCR showed no clinical findings consistent infection.Mean (SD) IL-6 level not significantly different three groups: case group 9.00 ± 3.340 pg/mL, 5.19 0.759 vaccine 7.11 2.468 pg/mL (p value 0.855). Pairwise comparison also revealed statistical difference concentrations p values versus control, vaccine, = 0.57, 0.91, 0.74, respectively. Similarly, there statistically frequency elevated (>11 pg/mL) between 0.89). CRP across 0.634). among different. 12 out samples group, 2 (indicating old resolved infection), 0 group.A number enrolled which represents relatively small patients. Most patients mainly asymptomatic. addition, our received mRNA-based vaccines (mRNA1273 BNT162b2). We did other vaccines.In cohort, neither nor indicated increased inflammation newborns SARS-CoV-2-infected vaccinated mothers.

It is now recognized that SARS-CoV-2 infection and pandemic-related stress impacts maternal health. However, their effects at the maternal-fetal interface are still debated.We recruited 199 women between March 2020 July 2021, 79 SARS-CoV-2+ 120 negative (the latter exposed to pandemic only). We also included 40 historic controls (i.e. pre-pandemic uncomplicated pregnancies before 2020). Placental samples were collected for protein histological analysis.The majority of multiethnic, had higher pre-pregnancy BMI elevated preterm birth rate (17%) vs SARS-CoV-2- or control. inflammatory profile revealed increased IL-1Ra CRP, independently status, whilst MCP-1, IL-6 IFNγ in negative, but stress-exposed, group. These changes predominant placentas with lesions on histopathological analysis. Furthermore, we observed immune cells (CD45+) from controls, even when individuals pregnancy complications excluded.Placental profiles differed statuses, namely +/- infection. This highlights need understand differences added burden placental

Pregnancy might impact immunity after SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination. We describe the first case of reinfection with during a pregnancy. While mother lacked detectable antibodies 2 months infection, both and baby had IgG at delivery. Infection did not cause any adverse pregnancy outcome.
