Norovirus is a common cause of gastroenteritis. We describe the case of a 23-month-old girl with encephalopathy possibly associated with norovirus infection. The viral genome was detected in stool, serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. This is the first report of encephalopathy potentially caused by norovirus as indicated by the presence of the virus genome in CSF.
诺如病毒是引起肠胃炎的常见病因。我们描述了一名23个月大女童的病例，其脑病可能与诺如病毒感染有关。通过逆转录聚合酶链反应在粪便、血清和脑脊液（CSF）中检测到了病毒基因组。脑脊液中存在病毒基因组表明这是首例可能由诺如病毒引起的脑病报告。
