Astroviruses cause diarrhea, but it is not known whether they circulate in human plasma. Astrovirus MLB2 was recently discovered in diarrhea samples from children. We detected MLB2 in the plasma of a febrile child, which suggests that MLB2 has broader tropism than expected and disease potential beyond the gastrointestinal tract.
星状病毒可引起腹泻，但目前尚不清楚它们是否在人类血浆中传播。最近在儿童腹泻样本中发现了星状病毒 MLB2。我们在发热儿童的血浆中检测到了 MLB2，这表明 MLB2 的嗜性比预期的更广泛，其疾病潜力超出了胃肠道。
