Abstract :
Babies under one year old are vulnerable to
COVID-19. However, the vulnerabilities of neonates
born to infected mothers are lack studied. Newborns
from mothers with suspected or confirmed cases of
COVID-19 must be clinically examined for SARS-CoV2. Laboratory examination is recommended for disease
diagnosis and progression. This research assessed the
lymphocyte, neutrophil, thrombocyte, c-reactive protein
(CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) in neonates born from
COVID-19 positive and negative mothers. A
retrospective cross-sectional study involving 113
neonates and 110 neonates from COVID-19 positive and
negative mothers was carried out in Haji Adam Malik
hospital Medan, Indonesia. All data was collected from
the medical record. Mann-Whitney statistical test was
carried out to assess the difference in lymphocyte,
