NOROVIRUS-ASSOCIATED ENCEPHALITIS IN A PREVIOUSLY HEALTHY 2-YEAR-OLD GIRL

摘要

We describe the case of 2-year-old girl with encephalitis associated with norovirus infection. The viral genome was detected in cerebrospinal fluid and stool by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. This is the first time in Spain and the second worldwide that the genome of norovirus from the stool sample and 2 cerebrospinal fluid samples were genetically characterized and matched.
