Question
A friend’s baby has neonatal cytomegalovirus infection. How should neonatal cytomegalovirus infection be treated?
Answer
The main treatment for neonatal cytomegalitis is antiviral therapy, supplemented by symptomatic treatment. Generally, there is no specific treatment method. Usually, options include the use of ganciclovir or acyclovir, with a dosage of 5 to 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. This is the total daily treatment dose. Regularly check the baby’s condition and viral load, and adjust the treatment plan accordingly based on the results of the examination and make timely follow-up visits.
