RESUMEN
Desde que la Organización Mundial de la Salud declarara la pandemia por el nuevo virus influenza A (H1N1), gran parte de la atención se ha puesto en sus manifestaciones respiratorias, existiendo escasa información referida a las complicaciones neurológicas de esta condición en niños. Reportamos el curso clínico de un niño con infección confirmada por influenza A (H1N1) pandémico que evolucionó con una encefalopatía aguda y rápida progresión a muerte encefálica.
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).
