要旨

Rotavirus infection is a frequent cause of gastroenteritis in children and accounts for significant morbidity and mortality, especially in the developing world. Less well recognized is the association of rotavirus-induced central nervous system dysfunction, which has been associated with seizure, encephalopathy, and death. Symptoms may vary widely, however, and children can experience short afebrile convulsions as the only manifestation of rotavirus encephalopathy. We report 4 further cases of rotavirus-induced seizures with mild neurologic manifestations. The condition is reviewed and practical management strategies are suggested.
