Congenital swine pox infection was identified in 13 piglets with typical gross cutaneous lesions that were present at birth. Characteristic microscopic features of swine pox infection were noted in the more acute cases, whereas chronic cases presented less specific skin lesions. In the four affected herds, disease occurred as a sporadic condition with low morbidity and high case fatality rates....

Currently, there is no evidence whether ganciclovir, or its oral prodrug valganciclovir, penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid of human infants treated for congenital cytomegalovirus infection. Here, we report a case study providing evidence that ganciclovir, administered as valganciclovir, reaches the infant's cerebrospinal fluid when used at the currently recommended dose for congenital cyt...
