Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a significant cause of pneumonia in school-aged children and young adults. We report a case of neonatal M. pneumoniae pneumonia in a preterm child manifesting in the first hours of life. Vertical transmission was demonstrated by the detection of M. pneumoniae in inflamed placental tissue indicating chorioamnionitis.

Archaea have been identified as early colonizers of the human intestine, appearing from the first days of life. It is hypothesized that the origin of many of these archaea is through vertical transmission during breastfeeding. In this study, we aimed to characterize the archaeal composition in samples of mother-neonate pairs to observe the potential vertical transmission.

Oropouche virus (OROV) is an orthobunyavirus endemic in the Brazilian Amazon that has caused numerous outbreaks of febrile disease since its discovery in 1955. During 2024, Oropouche fever spread from the endemic regions of Brazil into non-endemic areas and other Latin American and Caribbean countries, resulting in 13,014 confirmed infections. Similarly to other orthobunyaviruses, OROV can undergo genetic reassortment events with itself as well as other viruses.

This study describes the results of whole exome sequencing in the etiological investigation and genetic counseling of families presenting with non-syndromic oral clefts with vertical transmission recorded in the Brazilian Database on Craniofacial Anomalies. Whole exome sequencing was performed in 18 families presenting with non-syndromic oral clefts with vertical transmission, and variant filtering was used to identify rare, and also possibly pathogenic variants in genes associated with oral clefts. Overall, our study identified seven families (38.

Background: Antiretroviral drugs are essential for preventing mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV in HIV-infected pregnant women. However, ART treatment for HIV-infected pregnant women with multidrug resistance remains a major challenge. Effective and safe ART regimens for preventing MTCT should be tailored to this special population.
