title: Acute myositis with transient decrease of albumin, immunoglobulin, and complement following rotavirus gastroenteritis.
abstract: A 2-year-old boy developed acute myositis associated with rotavirus gastroenteritis. He had remarkable swelling and subcutaneous edema, mostly in the legs, 4 days after the onset of gastroenteritis. Marked elevation of creatine kinase was observed while serum albumin, immunoglobulin, and complement were decreased.
