Material and Method: Fifteen typical cases with benign acute childhood myositis referred to our Pediatric Neurology Clinic because of inability to walk from 15th of January to 15th of March 2011 were enrolled into this study. Eighty percent of the cases were male and the mean age was 6.3 years. Guillian-Barre's syndrome was the most common initial diagnosis (47% of the cases). Results:The prodromal period lasted for 2-10 days and common symptoms included sore throat, fever and cough. When they were referred to our clinic, the patients complained of pain in both calves and inability to walk. The symptoms resolved rapidly and spontaneously in 3 days. Leucopenia was found in 87% of the patients, thrombocytopenia was found in 47% of the patients and mildly high alanine transaminase was found in 87% of the patients. Serum creatinine kinase level ranged from 580 to 8250 U/L and returned to normal within one week. Conclusions:In patients whose clinical and laboratory findings are suggestive of benign acute childhood myositis, it is important to consider the diagnosis early in terms of preventing unnecessary laboratory evaluations and different therapeutic approaches.

“…Also, neurologic complications, encephalitis, febrile convulsion and aseptic meningitis have been detected. Benign Acute Childhood Myositis (BACM) is a clinical condition of bilateral calf pain that develops suddenly immediately after viral infections, usually affects school-age children, is characterized by walking difficulties, and resolves spontaneously [1]. Usually developings due to post-infectious pathogens, myositis associated with rotaviruses is rarely reported [2].…”

ÖzÇocukluk çağının akut selim miyoziti özellikle okul çağındaki genellikle erkek ço-cukları etkileyen, alt ekstremitenin distal kaslarını simetrik olarak tutarak yürüme güçlüğüne neden olan ve kendiliğinden düzelen bir klinik durumdur. Akut dönemde, ilerleyerek çocuğun yürümesini engellemesi ve ağrıya yol açmasıyla hekim ve ana babaları telaşlandırabilir. En sık influenza viruslarına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkmak-tadır. Ancak diğer virüsler ile de nadiren görülmektedir. Tipik laboratuvar bulgusu kreatinfosfokinaz düzeyindeki yükselmedir. Ayırıcı tanıda Guillain-Barré sendromu, müsküler distrofiler, dermatomiyozit, piyomiyozit ve büyüme ağrıları vardır.Bu yazıda 5,5 yaşındaki bir kız hastada rotavirüs enfeksiyonuna ikincil olarak gelişen akut myozit tablosu sunulmuştur. Anahtar KelimelerRotavirüs Enfeksiyonları; Çocuk; Myozit; Gastroenterit; Komplikasyonlar AbstractBenign acute childhood myositis usually affects males, especially school children, causes difficulty in walking by keeping the distal muscles of lower extremity symmetrically, and is a clinical condition that resolves spontaneously. In the acute stage, it can alarm the physician and the parents by blocking the child's walking and leading to pain. It arises most frequently due to influenza viruses, while it is rarely seen with other viruses. The typical laboratory finding is an increase in the level of keratin phosphokinase. The differential diagnosis includes Guillain-Barré syndrome, muscular dystrophy, dermatomyositis, pyomyositis, and growing pain. This paper presents an acute myositis case developing secondarily in a rotavirus infection in a 5.5-year-old female patient.

A 5-year-old girl had a "flu-like" syndrome followed five days later by clinical and pathologic evidence of myositis localized to both calves. Serum complement fixation titers were compatible with influenza A viral infection. The illness improved spontaneously within a week. Possible pathogenic mechanisms of postinfluenzal myositis and its clinical differences from idiopathic polymyositis are discussed. (29:441-443, 1973)
