Abstract:
Acute myositis developed concomitantly with gastroenteritis in a 2-year-old girl. She had temporary pain and swelling of the calf muscles and transient marked elevation of serum creatine kinase values. Rotavirus antigen was detected in stool by latex agglutination, and there was seroconversion of complement-fixation antibody to rotavirus.
