| الوصف: | Apart from causing the majority of episodes of gastroenteritis in children, rotaviruses can also cause systemic illnesses such as encephalitis, hepatitis, and acute haemorrhagic edema. Infectious rotavirus particles have been demonstrated in the blood and CSF and more associations are to be expected. This case series present a new association of encephalopathic state and vasculitic rash in 3 children who were found to have rotavirus on stool testing. Rotavirus can mimic serious bacterial infections including meningococcaemia and meningitis and any child presenting with vasculitic rash, encephalopathy and gastroenteritis should have a stool sample examined for rotavirus. Awareness of this association will help paediatricians provide a definitive diagnosis for some children presenting with signs of meningococcal sepsis who test positive for rotavirus. |
