There is no specific treatment for neonatal hepatitis. Vitamin supplements are usually prescribed and many infants are given medications which improve bile flow. Formulas containing fats more easily digested by the body are also given.
Can neonatal hepatitis be spread to others?
Infants with neonatal hepatitis caused by the cytomegalovirus, rubella or viral hepatitis may transmit the infection to others who come in close contact with them. These infected infants should not come into contact with pregnant women because of the possibility that the woman could transmit the virus to her unborn child.
