dc.description.abstractObjective: Our current knowledge for the management of symptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections is limited to few studies. In our study, we aimed to present the data of our patients, who were treated for the diagnosis of symptomatic congenital CMV infections. Material and Methods: A total of 19 patients with the diagnosis of congenital CMV infection treated at our tertiary center hospital between 2015-2021 were retrospectively included in the study. Antiviral treatment (ganciclovir/valganciclovir) was administered to all patients for six months. Results: Five (26.4%) patients were diagnosed with congenital CMV infection within the first three weeks of life. Treatment indications were hearing loss in 12 (63.2%) patients, central nervous system involvement in 7 (36.8%) patients and cholestasis in 6 (31.6%) patients. Six patients had more than one indication. There was no case with eye involvement. Six (31.6 %) patients had pathological findings in cranial imaging and 8 (42.1%) patients had pathological findings in abdominal imaging. Median blood CMV PCR was 1.538 IU/mL (IQR= 850-9.961) and median urine CMV PCR was 425.585 copies/mL (IQR= 111.370-10.105.585). As the side effect of treatment, neutropenia developed in two patients (10.5%). However, no permanent side effect of the treatment was observed. Mean follow-up period was 16.63 ± 8.1 months. Seven (36.8%) patients had chronic sequela of the disease (hearing loss and central nervous system involvement). Conclusion: Ganciclovir/valganciclovir treatment is safe for the treatment of congenital CMV infections./ Öz: Giriş: Semptomatik konjenital sitomegalovirüs (CMV) enfeksiyonlarının yönetimine ilişkin mevcut bilgilerimiz az sayıda çalışmayla sınırlıdır. Çalışmamızda semptomatik konjenital CMV enfeksiyonu tanısı ile tedavi edilen hastalarımızın verilerini sunmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Üçüncü basamak hastanemizde 2015-2021 yılları arasında tedavi edilen konjenital CMV enfeksiyonu tanısı ile toplam 19 hasta retrospektif olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm hastalara altı ay süreyle antiviral tedavi (gansiklovir/valgansiklovir) uygulandı. Bulgular: Beş (%26.4) hastaya yaşamın ilk üç haftasında konjenital CMV enfeksiyonu tanısı kondu. Tedavi endikasyonları 12 (%63.2) hastada işitme kaybı, 7 (%36.8) hastada merkezi sinir sistemi tutulumu ve 6 (%31.6) hastada kolestaz idi. Altı hastada birden çok endikasyon mevcuttu. Göz tutulumu olan olgu yoktu. Altı (%31.6) hastada kraniyal görüntülemede patolojik bulgular, 8 (%42.1) hastada abdominal görüntülemede patolojik bulgular saptandı. Medyan kan CMV polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) 1.538 IU/mL (IQR= 850-9.961) ve medyan idrar CMV PCR’si 425.585 kopya/ mL’dir (IQR= 111.370-10.105.585). Tedavinin yan etkisi olarak iki hastada (%10.5) nötropeni gelişti. Ancak tedavinin kalıcı bir yan etkisi gözlenmedi. Ortalama takip süresi 16.3 ± 8.1 aydı. Yedi (%36.8) hastada hastalığın kronik sekeli (işitme kaybı ve merkezi sinir sistemi tutulumu) vardı. Sonuç: Gansiklovir/valgansiklovir tedavisi konjenital CMV enfeksiyonlarının tedavisinde hem güvenli hem de etkilidir.
