Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and subsequent risk of atopic dermatitis in offspring: a nationwide birth cohort study in South Korea

Although previous studies suggest an association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults, insufficient attention has been given to the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pregnant woman and their offspring. Evidence on prenatal SARS-CoV-2 infection and subsequent risk of AD is lacking; therefore, we aimed to investigate the risk of AD in infants born to women who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy.
