Abstract

Neonatal seizures with white matter injury have been associated with rotavirus, enterovirus and parechovirus. Neurological symptoms caused by norovirus have been occasionally reported in older children. We describe a case of a neonate with seizures and white matter lesions, with detection of human norovirus in stool samples from the patient and her mother.
