What are the symptoms of CMV infection in children

summary

In fact, cytomegalovirus is widely distributed in our living environment. In fact, the infection rate of human cytomegalovirus can be as high as 95%. This kind of virus infection is often very recessive. Most people will not have symptoms even if they have cytomegalovirus infection. Only under certain conditions can this virus invade human organs and cause some diseases. Cytomegalovirus can be found in human lungs, liver, kidney, milk and saliva, as well as in female reproductive tract and placenta. So let's understand the symptoms of CMV infection in children

What are the symptoms of CMV infection in children

Symptom 1: cytomegalovirus is very harmful to the fetus. Because cytomegalovirus can invade the fetus through the placenta, leading to fetal congenital infection, a small number of fetuses will be infected by cytomegalovirus and lead to premature delivery or abortion and stillbirth.

Symptom 2: cytomegalovirus infection of the fetus can lead to death after birth, and this virus infection of the fetus will lead to jaundice after birth, and also lead to neonatal splenomegaly and liver enlargement. Some newborns are infected with cytomegalovirus through the birth canal, which leads to thrombocytopenic purpura.

Symptom 3: cytomegalovirus infection is more than that. Sometimes cytomegalovirus infects the fetus through the placenta without any symptoms. These viruses will lurk until the fetus is born and grows up, and begin to develop in childhood, such as neuromuscular dysfunction, deafness or chorioretinitis.

matters needing attention

In fact, in the process of delivery, the newborn may be infected with cytomegalovirus through the birth canal, and may show mild symptoms, such as making the child have a slight respiratory disorder or causing slight liver damage.
