Should I be treated for CMV IgM weak positive and positive urine?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Please ask if a CMV IgM weak positive and urine positive need treatment.

Doctor's answer:

The impact of cytomegalovirus is significant. It can lead to low hearing and vision in babies, intellectual disability, and severe cases may result in deformities. This condition requires active treatment, including antiviral therapy, followed by antibody reexamination to check if it can turn negative. It is secreted by one of the anterior pituitary gland's eosinophilic cells, the lactotropic cell, and is a simple protein hormone. Its main function is to promote the proliferation of mammary glands, milk production, and lactation.
