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.
