“…Although the organ involved in Rotavirus infection is almost always the intestine, there have also been reports describing extraintestinal abnormalities. 5,9,10 In the present case, a manifestation of myositis progressing with CK elevation alone was present at tests performed following Rotavirus gastroenteritis, and benign acute childhood myositis was diagnosed in the light of the clinical improvement observed in the following days. Myositis has been reported as an immunologic reaction or direct virus invasion into the muscle.…”

“…Yamamoto et al reported a case of comorbid acute myositis with Rotavirus and Norovirus. 9 Trivedi et al documented a rare presentation with Rotavirus diarrhea-related multisystem involvement in the form of encephalopathy, myositis, transaminitis and hypoalbuminemia. 10 However, Hattori et al reported a case in which a manifestation of benign acute myositis developed and subsequently improved without causing any damage.…”

“…3 However, BACM has also been associated with other viral infections as influenza A, parainfluenza, Coxsackie virus, herpes simplex virus, Epstein-Barr virus, and adenovirus infection. 3,17 Associations with rarer etiological agents, such as Parechovirus A3 (PeV-A3), responsible for myalgia and epidemic myositis in both children and adults, 18 rotavirus and norovirus, 19 and M. pneumonia infection, 20 have been described in the literature. In the group of 25 BACM children reported by Tekin and Akoğlu 21 the most common signs were walking difficulty and muscle tenderness, and pain on the gastrocnemius muscles.…”

Background. Benign Acute Childhood Myositis (BACM) is a transient condition mainly affecting children of school-age characterized by muscle pain, typically localized to the calf muscle with symmetrical lower extremity pain and difficulty in walking. Usually the clinical picture is preceded by a viral infection including influenza, parainfluenza, rotavirus and mycoplasma. Methods. The case-series was conducted in 4 pediatric hospitals in Catania, Italy, over a 12-year observational period. Clinical examination, laboratory data, course, treatment, and complications of the affected children were extracted from electronic medical records of each hospital. Results. For the case-series, fifty children diagnosed with BACM were enrolled: the mean age of affected children was 5.35 years, 86% of were males and in 56% the affections occurred during the winter. In the affected children, the clinical picture was characterized by previous fever and/or symptoms of inflammation of the upper airways, and followed by pain in the lower extremities up to uncoordinated gait. In 17 cases the etiological agent was isolated. In all the children the muscular symptomatology had a good evolution with progressive marked reduction of pain and of the high level of CKemia. Neither clinical recurrences nor sequelae were reported. Conclusions. BACM shows to have in most of the cases a favorable evolution, a spontaneous remission of symptoms and a good prognosis. It is worthy a rapid and early diagnosis in order to avoid unnecessary diagnostic investigations and a careful follow up necessary to exclude persistence of symptoms or CK elevation.

“…The pain is particularly pronounced when the patient first gets up in the morning. In the etiology, there are often Influenza type A and B viruses, RSV, adenoviruses, HSV, EBV, or CMV [4,5]. In our case, we did not test these when forming the differential diagnosis because there were no symptoms suggestive of viral upper respiratory tract infection.…”

“…Knowing detailed characteristics of benign acute childhood myositis will prevent unnecessary tests and treatments. In the literature, only four cases of myositis associated with rotavirus infection have been reported to date [4]. In this paper, we present a case of benign acute childhood myositis developing secondarily associated with rotavirus gastroenteritis infection in a 5.5-year-old.…”

ÖzÇocukluk çağının akut selim miyoziti özellikle okul çağındaki genellikle erkek ço-cukları etkileyen, alt ekstremitenin distal kaslarını simetrik olarak tutarak yürüme güçlüğüne neden olan ve kendiliğinden düzelen bir klinik durumdur. Akut dönemde, ilerleyerek çocuğun yürümesini engellemesi ve ağrıya yol açmasıyla hekim ve ana babaları telaşlandırabilir. En sık influenza viruslarına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkmak-tadır. Ancak diğer virüsler ile de nadiren görülmektedir. Tipik laboratuvar bulgusu kreatinfosfokinaz düzeyindeki yükselmedir. Ayırıcı tanıda Guillain-Barré sendromu, müsküler distrofiler, dermatomiyozit, piyomiyozit ve büyüme ağrıları vardır.Bu yazıda 5,5 yaşındaki bir kız hastada rotavirüs enfeksiyonuna ikincil olarak gelişen akut myozit tablosu sunulmuştur. Anahtar KelimelerRotavirüs Enfeksiyonları; Çocuk; Myozit; Gastroenterit; Komplikasyonlar AbstractBenign acute childhood myositis usually affects males, especially school children, causes difficulty in walking by keeping the distal muscles of lower extremity symmetrically, and is a clinical condition that resolves spontaneously. In the acute stage, it can alarm the physician and the parents by blocking the child's walking and leading to pain. It arises most frequently due to influenza viruses, while it is rarely seen with other viruses. The typical laboratory finding is an increase in the level of keratin phosphokinase. The differential diagnosis includes Guillain-Barré syndrome, muscular dystrophy, dermatomyositis, pyomyositis, and growing pain. This paper presents an acute myositis case developing secondarily in a rotavirus infection in a 5.5-year-old female patient.
