Article Synopsis
- - A study analyzed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the feces of lactating women diagnosed with COVID-19 and their breastfed infants, focusing on potential associations with symptoms and fecal shedding.
- - Involving 57 maternal-infant pairs, the research found that SARS-CoV-2 RNA was present in 25% of mothers and 30% of infants, with fecal shedding lasting between 1-4 weeks.
- - Despite mothers experiencing various symptoms, the prevalence of symptoms in their infants was similar to healthy control infants, and there was no correlation between the fecal shedding frequency of mothers and their infants, although maternal fever increased the likelihood of infant fecal shedding.
