Aim: A new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which is a worldwide pandemic virus, has caused numerous casualties. Studies are carried out on newborn babies of pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2, and studies are in progress investigating vertical transmission. In our study, we planed to evaluate the clinical and laboratory results of newborn babies born from pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study was carried out at Konya Training and ResearchHospital, between April 2020 and August 2020. Newborn babies born from pregnant women, who were found to have SARS-CoV-2 infection with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), were included in the study. Complete blood count, biochemical profile, acute phase reactants, D-Dimer and ferritin values of pregnant women while they were infected with the SARSCoV-2 were recorded. Complete blood count, biochemical values and acute phase reactants of newborn babies as well as two SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test results, conducted 24-hours apart, were noted. Fourteen pregnant women and their newborns, who satisfy the requirements, were included in the study to the study group. As the control group, pregnant and newborns who did not have COVID-19 at the time of delivery. Results: Fourteen mothers and babies were included in the study group. Both SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR results of all newborn babies came back negative. Lymphocyte percentage and values of newborns were statistically higher compared to their mothers (p<0.05). At the time of hospitalization, the most common symptom was respiratory distress with 7 (50%) patients (There were no babies with respiratory distress in the control group). Looking at the diagnosis at the time of hospitalizations, 6 (42.9%) patients had transient tachypnea of neonates, 1 (7.1%) had early onset neonatal sepsis and 1 (7.1%) had hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Six healthy babies were hospitalized in the NICU due to their mothers' condition. The patient, who was followed up with a diagnosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, died due to her primary disease. Conclusion: In our study, we observed the absence of transplacental transmission from pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 to their newborn babies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
