Fatal H1N1-Related Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy in an Adult
Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a severe neurological complication of influenza infection, including H1N1 influenza. Many cases of ANE have been reported in the pediatric literature, but very few cases have been described in adults. The cause of ANE remains unknown-the influenza virus is not known to be neurotropic, and evidence of direct viral involvement of the central nervous syste...
متن کاملAcute Encephalopathy Associated with Influenza A Infection in Adults
We report acute encephalopathy associated with influenza A infection in 3 adults. We detected high cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma concentrations of CXCL8/IL-8 and CCL2/MCP-1 (CSF/plasma ratios > or =3), and interleukin-6, CXCL10/IP-10, but no evidence of viral neuroinvasion. Patients recovered without sequelae. Hyperactivated cytokine response may play a role in pathogenesis.
متن کاملAcute necrotizing encephalopathy progressing to brain death in a pediatric patient with novel influenza A (H1N1) infection.
We report a case of encephalopathy progressing to brain death in a pediatric patient with confirmed infection with novel influenza H1N1. Although neurologic dysfunction associated with H1N1 has been described, we believe this to be the first published report of brain death associated with H1N1 infection.
متن کاملAcute Necrotizing Encephalopathy: An Underrecognized Clinicoradiologic Disorder
Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a rare but distinctive type of acute encephalopathy with global distribution. Occurrence of ANE is usually preceded by a virus-associated febrile illness and ensued by rapid deterioration. However, the causal relationship between viral infections and ANE and the exact pathogenesis of ANE remain unclear; both environmental and host factors might be invol...
متن کاملInfluenza Virus-Associated Fatal Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy: Role of Nonpermissive Viral Infection?
In 2014, two unusual peaks of H1N1 influenza outbreak occurred in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, in Thailand. Among 2,406 cases, one of the 22 deaths in the province included a 6-year-old boy, who initially presented with acute necrotizing encephalopathy. On the other hand, his sibling was mildly affected by the same influenza virus strain, confirmed by whole-genome sequencing, with one silent mut...
