Abstract:
We specifically addressed the persistent challenge of dengue in endemic regions, highlighting the potential seriousness of dengue infection through vertical transmission. Vertical dengue transmission has been well documented, particularly in hyper-endemic regions, including Ecuador. Herein, we present a neonate diagnosed with congenital dengue and review similar cases from previously published reports. Although congenital dengue is commonly infected with severe serotypes of DENV (DENV-1 and DENV-2) infections, favorable outcomes are generally observed.
