Academician Qiao Jie, an expert in anti-epidemic assistance to Hubei: recommends that patients with new coronary pneumonia recover from birth after three months to half a year
Today (14th), the Chinese Embassy in Singapore invited Academician Qiao Jie, leader of the leadership team of Peking University National Team for Anti-epidemic Medicine, to be a guest of CCTV's news broadcast room, answering the concerns of netizens: Will the new crown virus be transmitted vertically by mother and child ? Will it affect the reproductive system after infection?
Academician Qiao Jie said that from the current domestic and international reports, the baby's pharyngeal swab test results were negative, and no cases of vertical mother-to-child transmission have been found . A small number of sample reports indicate that newborns may obtain IgG antibodies through the placenta and have immunity as soon as they are born. So far, because there are few repetitive cases, it is impossible to prove the vertical transmission of neocoronavirus from mother to child. Take a step back and say that because of the antibody from the mother, most of the newborns after birth are healthy. There are some reports of neonatal infections because the family members or adults caring for the newborns are infected and have close contact with the newborns. There are really few cases of infections without real close contact. In general, experts now believe that there is insufficient evidence to prove the vertical transmission of mother and child.
Recently, there are some studies that the new coronavirus may theoretically affect the reproductive system.
In this regard, Academician Qiao Jie said: "At present, relevant research is indeed being conducted in the field of reproductive medicine, but it is not sure how much impact will be produced. From the data obtained now, the impact is still relatively small. But we recommend that after infection with new coronary pneumonia For cured patients, it is best to give birth after three months to half a year. If possible, we will conduct in-depth research to track how the reproductive system of men and women will be affected after infection with new coronary pneumonia. Consider the epidemic Regarding the risk of the specimen itself, the number of studies we have is relatively small, and the current evidence is not conclusive. "
