Clinical diagnosis and treatment of neonatal enterovirus infections / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Enterovirus infections are common virus infections during the neonatal period.Different from older children, neonatal enterovirus infections are often more severe, with clinical manifestations indistinguishable from bacterial sepsis, and can be complicated by necrotizing hepatitis, meningitis and myocarditis, with rapid progression and high mortality.Early intravenous immunoglobulin treatment might contribute to reducing the mortality of neonatal severe enterovirus infection and the morbidity of complications.Further research is needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new antiviral drugs for neonatal enterovirus infections.
