Fatal Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 Encephalopathy in Immunocompetent Man.
Simon M, Hernu R, Cour M, Casalegno JS, Lina B, Argaud L.
Abstract
We report an immunocompetent patient who had fatal encephalopathy after mild influenza. He rapidly died after unusual symptoms related to intracerebral thrombosis and hemorrhage. A brain biopsy specimen was positive for influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus RNA, but a lung biopsy specimen and cerebrospinal spinal fluid samples were negative.
