Patient's question:
CMV IgM antibody positive in the mother, but the quantitative value is below the minimum threshold. Asymptomatic, only had bronchopneumonia one month postpartum in the infant (premature, 40 days old, birth weight 2.7 kg, now 3 kg). The infant's CMV IgM antibody test was also positive.Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: The mother has cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. The child is CMV IgM positive, with pneumonia, anemia, congenital heart disease, etc. Treatment should be administered according to the local doctor's instructions. If the mother has no symptoms and no liver function abnormalities, treatment is not necessary. CMV, liver function, and myocardial enzymes should be rechecked every two weeks. An MRI should be repeated after one month. Echocardiography is required for follow-up at three months and six months. The child is a preterm infant, and the mother has CMV infection, so breastfeeding is generally not recommended.
