Patient's question:
A friend's baby has a neonatal cytomegalovirus infection. How should neonatal cytomegalovirus infection be treated?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment for giant cell infection in newborns is antiviral therapy, with symptomatic treatment as a secondary approach. Generally, there is no specific treatment method available. In most cases, ganciclovir or acyclovir can be chosen for treatment. The treatment dosage is primarily 5 to 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. This is the total daily treatment dosage. Regular follow-up and re-examination of the baby's condition, as well as viral load, should be conducted. Treatment plans should be adjusted promptly based on the results of these examinations. Regular follow-up is essential.
