今日医学研究人员宣布对新生儿进行的一项病毒感染普查,此种病毒感染可能是小儿听觉缺欠的首要原因。领导此研究小组的亚拉巴马大学儿科医生斯塔格诺(Sergio Stagno)说,对此种巨细胞病毒感染无有效的治疗方法。他说:“尽管无法治疗,但作出准确的诊断是重要的,因为这意味着如何帮助小儿应付此种听觉缺欠。” Today, medical researchers announce a census of newborns, which may be the leading cause of hearing loss in children. Sergio Stagno, a University of Alabama pediatrician who led the team, said there is no effective treatment for such CMV infection. He said: “Although it can not be treated, it is important to make an accurate diagnosis because it means helping children with such hearing deficits.”
