Patient's question:
My brother's child has just been born for one day, but has been told by the doctor that he suffers from congenital cytomegalovirus, which makes me very scared and worried. I want to know if congenital cytomegalovirus infection in newborns can be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a newborn is infected with cytomegalovirus, in general, as long as they actively receive treatment, it can be cured. For congenital cytomegalovirus infection, the clinical symptoms are usually more severe, and it is particularly prone to complications. If the infection occurs at birth, the prognosis is generally better. It is usually caused by developmental abnormalities of the nervous system, so it is important to monitor the child's neurological development and hearing.
