Influenza Virus
Presentation
- Laboratory evidence of influenza A(H1N1) virus infection was present. Two children died as a result of their illness. The association of virus and gastrointestinal haemorrhage is explored.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- With the benefit of hindsight, he presented with symptoms of SCLS 2 years prior the major acute episode.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The age distribution seen in the present study is compatible with the results of these serological studies.[doi.org]
- Our previous studies have demonstrated that some individuals possess antibody responses that are narrowly focused on epitopes that were present in viral strains that they encountered during childhood.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We report a 4-year-old boy with hyperprolinaemia type II presenting acute encephalopathy associated with influenza virus type A infection. This case suggests that hyperprolinaemia may cause acute encephalopathy under certain conditions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
Hypoxemia
- The illness was acute, with rapid onset, high fever, nonproductive cough, dyspnea, cyanosis, crepitations and rales over both lung bases, and associated arterial hypoxemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The infection was characterized by respiratory symptoms, fever, rapid progression, and significant hypoxemia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Limited Mobility
- In contrast, the viruses in cyto-D-treated cells show much more limited mobility ( Fig. 3 a ). These results suggest that stage I movement is an actin-dependent active transport.[doi.org]
Respiratoric
Tachypnea
- The first woman had the symptoms of fever, cough, dyspnea and tachypnea lasting for four days. The second woman refused to take oseltamivir treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Course
Severe Clinical Course
- The pathologic change induced by the direct viral invasion cannot be responsible for all of the symptoms, especially for the rapid and severe clinical course of the disease within 24-48 h after the initial respiratory symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Infection due to pandemic virus with the H275Y mutation can be associated with a severe clinical course, supporting the systematic monitoring of antiviral susceptibility in pandemic influenza-positive high-risk patients whose influenza is not resolved[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
Myopathy
- It is postulated that the pathogenesis of Reye's syndrome may be related to the other influenzal eipiphenomena including influenzal pneumonia in previously healthy persons and influenza-associated myopathy, both of which, like Reye's syndrome, become[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Muscle Weakness
- All six cases suffered from myalgia or muscle weakness especially in the lower extremities and the serum creatine kinase (CK) values were elevated above 1,000 IU/l without MB isoenzymes or electrocardiogram abnormalities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
Myelopathy
- To investigate the etiologic agent involved in myelopathy post influenza-like syndrome.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Excitement
- DiD-labeled viruses were excited with a 633-nm helium–neon laser (Melles-Griot), whereas Cy3/Cypher5-labeled viruses were simultaneously excited with a 532-nm diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser (CrystaLaser, Reno, NV) and the helium–neon laser.[doi.org]
Workup
X-Ray
Pericardial Effusion
- Although the patient's general condition improved after steroid pulse therapy and pericardiocentesis, pericardial effusion re-accumulated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Abstract We report, to our knowledge, the first successful treatment of novel Influenza A (H1N1)/2009 chronic pericardial effusion in an adult.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Atelectasis
- These 3 children shared common clinical and radiologic features: rapid and progressive respiratory distress with whole lung atelectasis on chest radiograph.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Persistent radiographic abnormalities included peribronchial thickening, interstitial densities, bronchiectasis, obliterative bronchiolitis, and segmental atelectasis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Other Pathologies
Brain Edema
- The mild hypothermia suppressed the brain edema on computed tomography (CT) scanning and protected the brain from the subsequent irreversible neural cell damage.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Together with the rapid production of several inflammatory cytokines, the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier may induce severe brain edema and can be a major pathologic change for the disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Diffuse Encephalopathy
- Focal reversible encephalopathy has rarely been reported in association with influenza virus infection, although it often provokes diffuse encephalopathies, with a poor prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
- The use of hemodynamic support by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation emerges as a promising treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Oseltamivir is considered the drug of choice for patients with pandemic influenza for whom drug treatment is recommended because adamantanes seem to be ineffective against pandemic A/H1N1 influenza virus and zanamivir is contraindicated in people with[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The child had the 275Y mutation detected after being persistently A/H1N1 09 RT-PCR positive while receiving oseltamivir treatment. Resistance was not detected in 17 pre-treatment samples and 54 A/H1N1 09 RT-PCR positive outpatients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Abstract We report, to our knowledge, the first successful treatment of novel Influenza A (H1N1)/2009 chronic pericardial effusion in an adult.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Early admission, prompt diagnosis and early recourse to antiviral treatment gives better results in H1N1 infected pregnant women (Fig. 2, Ref. 10).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- Focal reversible encephalopathy has rarely been reported in association with influenza virus infection, although it often provokes diffuse encephalopathies, with a poor prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- It also discusses aspects relevant to the treatment and prognosis of fulminant myocarditis. The patient was a female, 4 years and 8 months old, previously healthy and with a history of flu symptoms in the past two weeks.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
- The H1N1 influenza virus is an etiological agent associated with acute myocarditis, but there are few reported cases of fulminant myocarditis caused by the H1N1 virus.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Any other etiologies were discarded. Recidivating pericardial effusion after medical treatment, firstly with Oseltamivir, and afterwards, with colchicine and corticosteroids during six months, was solved with pericardiectomy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- To investigate the etiologic agent involved in myelopathy post influenza-like syndrome.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The etiology of this disorder has not been clarified due to its low incidence. We describe two patients with PPCM and elevated antibody titers to influenza virus in paired sera that were recovered by high doses of intravenous immune globulin.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Influenza viruses are the etiological agents of influenza. Although vaccines and drugs are available for the prophylaxis and treatment of influenza virus infections, the generation of escape mutants has been reported.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
