Five women had delivered by the time the study was published, and all their babies had antibodies without having been infected by the virus, although the researchers said it is not yet clear what level of protection this may offer. Further monitoring was required to see if the antibodies decline as the babies grow, the researchers said.
The number of antibodies in the babies varied and was higher among those whose mothers had been infected nearer to the time of delivery, the researchers added. Doctors in China have reported the detection and decline over time of COVID-19 antibodies in babies born to women with the coronavirus disease, according to an article published in October in the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal.
