Abstract

COVID-19 has been associated with hemolytic anemia in pediatric as well as adult age group. However, very little is known about the clinical course and immune responses in newborn born to a mother who contracted SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. Previously, few cases of autoimmune hemolytic anemia with SARS-CoV-2 infection due to the cytokine storm or through molecular mimicry has been found. Through this report, we would discuss about the SARS-COV-2 reactive antibodies as a potential etiology of severe early hemolysis leading to severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in a neonate born to a mother with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
