Asmaa Yahia Sharfeldin, Hala Samy Omar, Ahmed Mohamed-saber Elhanafy.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted people of all ages, including neonates. However, confirmed data on its vertical transmission is still scarce. As a result, displaying various cases of COVID-19 in neonates may assist in understanding the virus 's behavior during pregnancy. This report shows a 32-year-old mother with a 5-day history of acute respiratory disease tested positive for COVID-19 by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), presented with labor pain at 34 weeks of gestation, and underwent an emergency cesarean section. She gave birth to a preterm male baby, who tested positive for RT-PCR less than 24 hours after birth and fifth day of life. His outcome was good. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2022; 12(4):160-162.

Key words: Acute espiratory disease, COVID-19, neonate, vertical transmission, infectious disease transmission
