Rotavirus is the most frequent virus found in childhood gastroenteritis. A rotavirus viremia is observed in 19 to 63 % of cases, for three days at the beginning of infection. Then, rotavirus can reach several organs as liver (hepatitis in 1/3 of case), nervous central system (2 % of encephalitis could be linked to rotavirus), or more infrequently mesenteric lymph nodes, lung or heart. However, the link between rotavirus and systemic manifestations has not been well established. Further studies are necessary to confirm the role of rotavirus in these organ's lesions.
