We report a case of apnea in a preterm infant who presented at two weeks of life with increase in frequency of apnea that did not respond to caffeine. Family history was significant for diarrhea in a sibling. Stool PCR was positive for Norovirus Genogroup II. Enteric isolation was instituted and the apnea resolved spontaneously with conservative management. Re-emergence of apnea or persistent apnea necessitates further investigation to elucidate the etiology.enNeonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)Antiviral Agents --therapeutic useApnea --drug therapyApnea --etiologyDNA, Viral --analysisEnzyme-Linked Immunosorbent AssayFemaleFollow-Up StudiesGastroenteritis --complicationsGastroenteritis --diagnosisGastroenteritis --drug therapyGastroenteritis --virologyGestational AgeHumansInfant, NewbornInfant, PrematureIntensive Care Units, NeonatalMaleNorovirus --isolation & purificationPregnancyReverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain ReactionRisk AssessmentSeverity of Illness IndexTreatment OutcomeArticle
