Abstract

Since the World Health Organization declared a pandemic of a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus, much attention has been focused on its respiratory manifestations, but limited information regarding neurologic complications has been reported in children. We describe a case of acute encephalopathy progressing to brain death in a pediatric patient with confirmed infection with novel influenza A (H1N1).
