The virus can be passed from the mother to the baby in the womb, and can cause a range of symptoms in the baby, including fever, rash, and neurological problems. In some cases, the infection can be severe and can lead to long-term health problems.

-Fever
-Rash
-Joint pain
-Muscle aches
-Fatigue
-Nausea and vomiting
-Diarrhea
-Abdominal pain

Congenital enterovirus infection is caused by a mother being infected with an enterovirus during pregnancy. The virus can be passed from the mother to the baby during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. The most common enteroviruses that cause congenital infection are Coxsackievirus A16, echovirus 11, and enterovirus 71.

1. Supportive care: This includes providing adequate nutrition, hydration, and oxygen as needed.

2. Antiviral medications: These medications may be used to reduce the severity of symptoms and shorten the duration of the infection.

3. Immunoglobulin therapy: This is a type of therapy that helps boost the body’s immune system and can help reduce the severity of symptoms.

4. Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair any damage caused by the virus.

5. Vaccines: Vaccines are available to help prevent enterovirus infections.
