Question
A five-month-old baby was diagnosed with CMV infection and pneumonia at around one month of age and was hospitalized for more than a week. How should parents handle the follow-up situation?
Answer
One, the baby still has CMV infection and it is recommended to undergo a six-week treatment, preferably in a hospital environment. Two, there is a higher possibility of viral recurrence after treatment, so corresponding preventive measures should be taken to prevent recurrence. Three, infection may cause discomfort and fever, and young children may experience symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and infectious diseases after infection. Four, if blood transfusions containing the virus are received, it may lead to liver inflammation, which may occur two to four weeks later.
