Question

A colleague mentioned that a newborn has abdominal swelling and suspects there might be a problem. After going to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that the newborn has hepatosplenomegaly. Can this condition be treated?

Answer

The treatment for newborn hepatosplenomegaly varies depending on the underlying cause, which is often due to infection or hemolysis. The condition needs to be differentiated from other diseases, such as TORCH infections. The treatment plan should be tailored to the specific situation, and severe cases may require medication or surgical intervention.
