Influenza A Virus Associated With Acute Encephalopathy

Laurent Delorme, MD; Peter J. Middleton, MD

Am J Dis Child. 1979;133(8):822-824.

Abstract

• During the period of February 1972 until February 1976,we documented six cases of influenza A-associated acute encephalopathy.The illnesses occurred during periods of influenza A activityin our community. The encephalopathy was invariably precededby an upper respiratory tract infection, and, thereafter, patientssoon became confused, vomited, and showed noticeable restlessness.Patients then followed either of two courses, some becomingcomatose within 24 hours and others improving rapidly withinthree days or less. None of these patients exhibited the hepaticand biochemical abnormalities associated with Reye's syndrome.All patients survived but some had sequelae. The syndrome ofinfluenza-associated acute encephalopathy deserves wider recognition.
