How are Enterovirus Infections Treated in Neonates?
Treatment of enterovirus infections in neonates primarily focuses on supportive care, as there are no specific antiviral therapies approved for these infections. Supportive care measures may include:
Intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration Antipyretics to manage fever Monitoring and support for respiratory and cardiovascular function Antibiotics may be administered if there is a concern for bacterial co-infection
In severe cases, hospitalization in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may be necessary to provide advanced supportive care and continuous monitoring.
