At birth the immune system of a neonate is immature and viruses can cause severe infections. Since the signs and symptoms of postnatal viral diseases can be identical to those in bacterial infections, viral diseases are often treated with antibiotics. Any infant with signs of serious infections, in whom no bacteria are found, should be suspected for a viral infection. Prevention of transmission of viruses and cohorting of infected infants should be practiced in NICUs. Since postnatal viral infections can have a long-term impact on the health in a child, all effective preventive and curative interventions should be utilized.
新生儿出生时免疫系统不成熟，病毒可导致严重感染。由于产后病毒性疾病的体征和症状可能与细菌感染相同，病毒性疾病通常用抗生素治疗。任何有严重感染迹象但未发现细菌的婴儿都应怀疑为病毒感染。新生儿重症监护病房应采取预防病毒传播和对感染婴儿进行分组护理的措施。由于产后病毒感染可能对儿童健康产生长期影响，应采用所有有效的预防和治疗干预措施。
