Analysis of myoacrdial damage in rotavirus enteritis
Abstract：Objective To investigate possible myocardial damage in rotavirus enteritis .Methods Accord-ing to the rotavirus detection test , 131 children with diarrhea were divided into the observation group ( rotavirus posi-tive, n=62) and the control group(rotavirus negative, n=69).The severity of diarrhea, signs of cardiac damages, ECG/chest X-ray, the elevation of myocardial enzymes and troponin T were compared between the two groups .Re-sults There were no significant differences between the two groups in severity of diarrhea , signs of cardiac damage ( P>0.05 ) .There were more elevated CK and CK-MB in the observation group than those in the control group ( P<0.05 ) .There was only one case with weak positive troponin T in the observation group .ECG and chest X-ray exami-nation did not show the specific changes of myocardial damage in the two groups .Conclusion Myocardial damage is infrequent in rotavirus enteritis and there might be false positive results for the detection of CK -MB by immunosup-pression.
