Abstract:
Rotavirus is the most common cause of infectious gastroenteritis in infants and young children and estimated to cause more than 111 million cases of diarrhea annually. Most patients show no specific symptom or experience mild fever, vomiting, non-bloody diarrhea and symptoms often resolve within several days. However, some of patients suffer from severe complication such as necrotizing enterocolitis, intussusception, seizure, encephalitis, and cholestasis. We report a neonatal case of rotavirus infection presenting with reversible direct hyperbilirubinemia with a brief review of associated literatures.
