“…An increase in CMV DNAemia was observed in two patients after the ganciclovir therapy. This rebound increase in CMV DNAemia has been reported previously and the significance of reappearance remains incompletely understood (Lee-Yoshimoto et al, 2018). In the early onset stage, CMV PCR on the CSF was positive for all patients, while anti-CMV IgM was positive for 77.8% of the patients.…”

“…32 Congenital CMV pneumonitis, which can persist for months, is associated with the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia as a consequence of oxygen supplementation and mechanical ventilation required because of secondary bacterial pneumonitis or diffuse necrotizing pneumonitis with fibrosis. 20,46 Furthermore, the accumulation of CMV in lung tissues can potentially initiate an immunopathogenic reaction, leading to widespread interstitial pneumonitis, a notable decrease in surfactant production and subsequently, the presentation of symptoms of respiratory failure. 20 Infants with CMV pneumonitis may present with fever, lethargy, myalgia, cough, chest retractions or lymphadenopathy.…”

“…Evidence that premature babies have a higher incidence of cCMV is limited. At birth, clinical features of symptomatic cCMV include microcephaly, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), hepatosplenomegaly, petechial rash, jaundice, and seizures [22,23]. Infants with symptomatic cCMV should be identified promptly such that appropriate management can be instituted as early as possible to improve outcomes.…”
