Patient's question:
Recently had high fever between 37.2-38 degrees, little sleep, cried during fever, no other symptoms. Recent high fever, urine test showed cytomegalovirus CMV-DNA 1.86X10^5. What kind of assistance is needed: Hello doctor, need to stay...Doctor's answer:
Cytomegalovirus is a DNA virus belonging to the Herpesvirus group. It is widely distributed and can be transmitted to other animals, leading to systemic infections based on perinatal urinary system, central nervous system, and liver diseases, ranging from mild asymptomatic infections to severe defects or even death.The comprehensive prevention and control principle includes ganciclovir (ganciclovir DHPG), which has an antiviral effect against CMV spread. When used in conjunction with high-titer anti-CMV immunoglobulin, it can reduce the mortality rate of CMV pneumonia complications in bone marrow transplantation. If CMV infection is resistant to ganciclovir, sodium phosphonoformate can be used, although it can persistently increase CMV spread, its efficacy is inferior to that of the former.
Overseas research has developed a live CMV vaccine that can induce antibody production, but the potential carcinogenic risks of the vaccine still need to be addressed.
The above suggestions are for the issue of "7-month-old baby tested positive for cytomegalovirus." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
