Patient's question:
These days, I've been feeling extremely weak all over, and my head is also particularly painful. Today, my son took me to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said this is giant cell arteritis. Upon hearing this, I felt that this must be a very serious illness. Here, I would like to ask for some advice: What is giant cell arteritis?Doctor's answer:
Cytomegalovirus infection-induced arteritis is relatively rare. For now, the only option is to use antiviral medications to relieve pain and stabilize arteritis, as arteritis can easily lead to local hardening and fibrosis, causing dizziness, headaches, fatigue, and circulatory problems. In children, if the condition recurs, it may be necessary to use hormones or surgery in coordination when required.
