Research advances in cytomegalovirus hepatitis / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Cytomegalovirus hepatitis is a liver disease caused by human cytomegalovirus infection and is one of the most common liver diseases in children and immunocompromised individuals. This disease has no specific clinical manifestations and is easily confused with other types of viral hepatitis, which may lead to delayed treatment or mistreatment. Therefore, the early diagnosis of cytomegalovirus hepatitis is of vital importance, and patients should be given timely and effective treatment with appropriately selected antiviral drugs and course of treatment. This article reviews the recent research advances in the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cytomegalovirus hepatitis.
