RTHM’s Take: This is an alarming finding that may have major medical and public health implications. This study, albeit in a small number of people, demonstrates that maternal SARS-COV2 infections during pregnancy can significantly impact the neuro-development of the child after birth. At a minimum, we should be informing prospective parents about these potential risks, and provide them with the tools and knowledge to reduce the risk of contracting SARS-CoV2 during pregnancy.This area of research is very important to continue.” — Jennifer Curtin, MD, RTHM Co-Founder

Study Author Conclusions: “This study shows the long-term impact of maternal SARS-COV-2 infection on child development.. Prenatal SARS-COV-2 infection in pregnant women is linked to developmental delays in toddlers, with cytokine and chemokine changes associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 24 months… Identifying specific cytokines correlating with cognitive, communication, and motor delays suggests potential biomarkers for early intervention.” (Arrow pointing right) Small Citation

Cytokines & Chemokines Correlate with Cognitive, Motor, Communication Delays Elevated interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in cord blood correlated with cognitive delays. Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-17, and IL-1β were associated with motor delays. Increased C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 and other cytokines were associated with communication delays.

Key Findings: At 6 months 33.3% of infants exhibited cognitive delays 20% communication delays 40% motor delays At 24 months 35% of infants exhibited cognitive delays 64% communication delays 57% motor delays

Description of the Study This study aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal infection on neurodevelopment and investigate whether cytokine and chemokine profiles predict delays at 24 months. Conducted in Brazil (January 2021–March 2022), this follow-up study included 18 SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women at 35–37 weeks’ gestation, 15 umbilical cord blood samples, and blood samples from 15 children at 6 months and 14 at 24 months. Developmental delay was defined using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition, with scores below 90 in cognitive, communication, or motor domains.
