Neonatal viral infections can be transmitted in several ways:
Vertical Transmission: This occurs when the virus is passed from the mother to the infant during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. Examples include CMV and HSV. Horizontal Transmission: This occurs through direct contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces after birth. RSV and enteroviruses are commonly transmitted this way. Breastfeeding: Some viruses, such as HIV and CMV, can be transmitted through breast milk.
