title: Benign acute myositis associated with rotavirus gastroenteritis.
abstract: Acute myositis developed concomitantly with gastroenteritis in a 2-year-old girl.

Rotavirus antigen was detected in stool by latex agglutination, and there was seroconversion of complement-fixation antibody to rotavirus.
