Abstract
Rotavirus RNA was detected in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid from e ight Japanese children with convulsions and gastroenteritis in the acu te stage by means of the reverse transcription polymerase chain reacti on. This may suggest that rotavirus invades the central nervous system through blood vessels.
