Abstract: AIM:To analyze the hearing impairment rate of cytomegalovirus (CMV)hepatitis and explore the curative effect of ganciclovir.METHODS: 103 cases of CMV hepatitis patients were randomly divided into treatment group (65 cases)and control group (38 cases).Treatment group used Ganciclovir, supplemented symptomatic treatment, the control group used only symptomatic treatment.The blood, biochemical routine, levels of blood CMV-pp65and urine CMVDNA were determined regularly, and the brain stem auditory evoked potential (ABR)was detected.RESULTS: The positive rate of CMV-pp65, CMV-DNA of patients before and after treatment in treatment group had significant difference (P<0.01);The changes of positive rate of CMV-pp65and urine CMV-DNA before and after treatment in control group had no significant difference (P>0.05).The ABR of 103 cases of CMV hepatitis patients was tested before treatment, 27 ears were hearing impairment (13.1%).There were 17 ears hearing impairment (13.08%)in treatment group 65 cases patients, and 10ears hearing impairment (13.16%)in control group 38 cases patients, after one yearwith ganciclovir treatment, 15 ears were hearing impairment (11.54%)in treatment group and 17 ears were hearing impairment (22.37%)in control group.Compared with the two groups, the rate of hearing impairment had significant difference (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:There are the hearing impairment in part of children with CMV hepatitis, after Ganciclovir treatment the blood CMV-pp65and urine CMV-DNA in patients were negative and the incidence of hearing impairment was decreased.
