Abstract

Rotavirus gastroenteritis is one of the most common abacterial causes of childhood diarrhea. Typical course of rotavirus infection in all ages of patients consists of 2-3 days of lasting fever, vomiting and then subsequent development of watery bloodless diarrhea. Rotavirus infection, especially gastroenteritis with severe vomiting, may cause critical and life-threatening dehydration. Extraintestinal involvement related to rotavirus infection is not commonly reported. Immune thrombocytopenia may happen after some of viral infections; however it has never been reported to be associated with wild-type rotavirus gastroenteritis to date. Here, we present a three-year-old patient with fever, vomiting, diarrhea and generalized purpura, which thought to be related to rotavirus infection.

Özet

Rotavirus gastroenteriti çocukluk çağında en sık görülen bakteriyel olmayan ishal nedenidir. Tüm yaş gruplarında rotavirus infeksiyonlarının tipik seyri 2-3 gün devam eden ateş ve kusma, sonrasında gelişen kansız sulu dışkılamadır. Özellikle kusma ile birlikte olduğunda rotavirus infeksiyonları ciddi ve yaşamı tehdit eden dehidratasyona neden olabilmektedir. Rotavirus infeksiyonuna bağlı ekstraintestinal tutulumlar ender olmakla birlikte bildirilmektedir. Yine immün trombositopeni birçok viral infeksiyona ikincil olarak görülebilmesine rağmen, rotavirus infeksiyonuna bağlı görülmesi oldukça enderdir. Ateş, kusma, ishal, yaygın peteşiyal döküntü yakınmalarıyla başvuran üç yaşında bir erkek hasta, rotavirus infeksiyonundan dolayı olduğunu düşündüğümüz trombositopenisi olması nedeniyle sunulmaktadır.
