The baby is a fertilized egg that undergoes cell division and differentiation in the mother's uterus. So babies grow and develop in their mother's uterus before landing. So if the mother is infected with viruses and bacteria, the baby will also be infected. This situation is called intrauterine infection. Today, let's learn together whether neonatal intrauterine infection can be cured.
Can neonatal intrauterine infection be cured
Although the specific situation of the baby's illness is unknown, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment. However, in terms of the current technical means for treating various intrauterine infections in newborns in China, there is a high possibility of recovery. Therefore, parents need to actively cooperate with doctors during this period of treatment. At the same time, the child's physical fitness will be relatively poor for a period of time after recovery, and they need to be taken care of carefully to avoid colds, etc.

2. Cytomegalovirus infection: The incidence rate is 1% to 3% in pregnant women and 1/3000 to 5000 in newborns; Causes small head, blindness, epilepsy, deafness, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, intellectual disability, hemolytic anemia.
