Clinical treatments are various, and the Western medicine used is mainly anti-viral agents such as Ganciclovir, and so far no unified therapeutic program has been formed. More and more ways of regarding Chinese medicine treatment of cytomegaloviral hepatitis have been published increasingly in recent years, though further research to seek preferable treatment programs is still expected.
