KARABEL, Müsemma et al. A rare cause of afebrile convulsion: rotavirus gastroenteritis. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2013, vol.111, n.2. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2013.e43-e45.
Rotavirus is the most common infectious diarrhea that causes important mortality and morbidities in small children, severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Extraintestinal signs are rare in rotavirus infections. Recently, afebrile seizures associated with rotavirus gastroenteritis but without encephalopathy, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance or hypoglycemia have being reported. In this article, the fact that rotavirus, which is seen commonly in our country, can be confronted with various clinical manifestations was emphasized by reminding that it can be seen not only in infants with neurologic and systemic disease but also in healthy infants.
