Key result
Human rhinovirus A49 infection was identified in the serum of a 2-year-old girl presenting with clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion.
Case Report (n=1)
Human rhinovirus can rarely involve the central nervous system and result in clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion.
A 2-year-old girl with fever and seizures was diagnosed as having clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion, as indicated by magnetic resonance imaging. Virologic analysis identified human rhinovirus A49 in her serum. Although human rhinovirus rarely involves the central nervous system, such involvement could result in mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion.
