Patient's question:
Patient Gender: When my child was two months old, it was discovered that he had hypoxic brain development. After undergoing three rounds of rehabilitation treatment, a follow-up examination showed that his development had worsened. Another three rounds of treatment were administered before the presence of cytomegalovirus was identified. After one course of treatment with Didu, a follow-up examination revealed no trace of this virus. However, one month later, the virus was detected again. I would like to ask whether this virus can be completely cured, and are there better medications available? My child is now ten months old, and will there be any sequelae?Doctor's answer:
Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is most sensitive to neural cells and salivary glands during fetal and neonatal periods, and the mononuclear-macrophage system is often affected.(1) Meets clinical diagnostic or confirmed diagnostic criteria with moderate to severe or disabling HCMV disease, including interstitial pneumonia, jaundice-type or cholestatic hepatitis, encephalitis, and retinal chorioretinitis (which can affect the macula and cause blindness), especially in immunocompromised individuals such as HIV-infected children;
(2) Prophylactic medication after transplantation;
(3) Congenital infection with central nervous system damage (including sensorineural hearing loss), early use can prevent deterioration of hearing and central nervous system damage.
