Can neonatal intrauterine infection be cured?

Although we do not know the specific circumstances of the baby's illness and cannot make an accurate judgment, based on the current technical means of treating various neonatal intrauterine infections in my country, the possibility of recovery is very high. During this period, parents need to actively cooperate with the doctor's 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 carefully cared for and avoid colds.

Common intrauterine infections

1. Rubella virus infection: The incidence rate of intrauterine infection in newborns is 4.14%, which can cause cataracts, glaucoma, retinopathy, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, myocarditis, microcephaly, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, and mental retardation.

2. Cytomegalovirus infection: The incidence rate is 1% to 3% of primary infection in pregnant women and 1/3000 to 5000 in newborns; it causes microcephaly, blindness, epilepsy, deafness, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, mental retardation, and hemolytic anemia.

3. Herpes simplex virus infection: The incidence rate is 2.5% in pregnant women and 1/5,000 to 20,000 in newborns; it causes microcephaly, microphthalmia, chorioretinitis, lens opacities, heart abnormalities, short fingers (toes), and neuropsychiatric disorders.

4. Toxoplasmosis: The incidence rate is 1/500 to 20,000 newborns; it causes hydrocephalus, brain calcifications, chorioretinitis, and psychomotor disorders.
