Abstract
With multiple available vaccines and antivirals, seasonal influenza A is typically a self-limited acutely debilitating illness in young healthy adults. Here, we illustrate unexpected morbidity and mortality in a relatively young and healthy patient seen at a large tertiary care academic medical center for seasonal influenza A (H3N2) complicated by community-acquired pneumonia, hypoxic respiratory failure, septic shock, and death.
KEYWORDS:
Staphylococcus aureus; community-acquired pneumonia; influenza A virus; influenza vaccine; neuraminidase inhibitors
