Motivation for the study. There is a gap in knowledge about vertical transmission of SARS- CoV-2 and its implications for maternal and neonatal health, despite evidence of multisystem involvement in pregnant women with COVID-19. Main findings. The study results suggest low incidence of vertical transmission during pregnancy, with only one PCR-positive case in the placenta and one asymptomatic neonate. Implications. Our results can inform strategies for prevention and management of COVID-19 in pregnant women, as well as guide the development of health policies aimed at protecting maternal and neonatal health during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to analyze the vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant women with COVID-19 in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital (HNERM). Twelve pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria were included. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) tests for SARS-CoV-2 were performed when each woman was admitted to the hospital, placenta samples were collected for pathological evaluation as well. The results showed that vertical transmission of the virus was rare, with an overall low positivity rate in newborns. Although the study has limitations, such as the small number of cases and the lack of electron microscope analysis, it is the first attempt to evaluate vertical transmission in Peru. It is concluded that more research is needed to better understand the relationship between COVID-19 infection and complications during pregnancy
