Biliary atresia and cytomegalovirus and response to valganciclovir.
Biliary atresia has been commonly reported with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. CMV positive patients may present with a later onset however long term outcome is similar to non-CMV patients. There are very few case reports of role of antivirals in CMV and biliary atresia. We treated a 2 month old girl with biliary atresia who underwent portoduodenostomy at 2 and half months of age but continued to have jaundice (bilirubin = 23.6 mg/dl) even after 1 month of Kasai's surgery and subsequently was treated with valganciclovir for 6 weeks following which her jaundice resolved.
