Rotavirus enteritis is an infectious disease of the small bowel caused by an RNA reovirus. It is manifested by cytotoxic diarrhea [1]. Rotavirus is the most common viral cause of enteritis (incidence 15-35%) [2]. In infants and children with abdominal pain and diarrhea, ultrasonography is the diagnostic study of choice, and its use has increased significantly in young patients. We describe two cases in which portal-vein gas was detected on abdominal ultrasound scans in children with severe dehydration secondary to rotavirus gastroenteritis, which resolved rapidly after treatment.
轮状病毒肠炎是一种由RNA呼肠孤病毒引起的小肠传染病。它表现为细胞毒性腹泻[1]。轮状病毒是肠炎最常见的病毒病因(发病率为15% - 35%)[2]。对于有腹痛和腹泻的婴幼儿,超声检查是首选的诊断方法,并且在年轻患者中的使用显著增加。我们描述了两例因轮状病毒胃肠炎继发严重脱水的儿童,其腹部超声扫描检测到门静脉气体,治疗后迅速消失。
