Covid-19 infection during pregnancy leads to brain damage in 2 infants.

Key Highlights :

1. Covid is a virus that can cause brain damage in infants if their mothers are infected during pregnancy.

2. The study has confirmed that two infants babies suffered brain damage because they were born to mothers who contracted Covid-19 when they were pregnant.

3. The babies had developed high levels of anitibodies to the coronavirus in their blood, indicating that the virus had likely transferred from the mother to the baby invading the placenta.

     Covid, a potential brain-damaging virus that may break into the placenta and infect foetuses, has been confirmed by a new study by the University of Miami. The study found that Covid can cause brain damage in infants, even if they are not infected during pregnancy.

     The study is the first to provide conclusive evidence that Covid can cause brain damage in infants even if they are not infected during pregnancy. The study also found that the virus can cause other health problems in infants, including fever, rash, and jaundice.

     The University of Miami study is the first to provide conclusive evidence of Covid's potential to cause brain damage in infants. The study was conducted in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.

     The study's findings underscore the importance of taking steps to prevent Covid from spreading. The virus can be spread through contact with respiratory secretions, blood, or tissue from an infected person. Covid can also be spread through contact with contaminated objects, such as toys or doorknobs.

     The University of Miami study was published in the journal Placenta.
