Özet
Rotavirus infection is the most common cause of severe gastroenteritis in young children. Rotavirus infection is usually localized to the intestine but involvement of extra-intestinal systems, including the respiratory tract, liver, kidney, lymph nodes, and central nervous system, has been reported. Neurologic manifestations, ranging from benign convulsions with gastroenteritis to lethal encephalitis or encephalopathy, occur in approximately 2%-5% of patients with gastroenteritis. The pathophysiological origins of neurologic signs in rotavirus infection remain incompletely understood. In this review, rotavirus-associated central nervous system complications, pathogenesis and treatment were discussed.
