Martin, Alexandra; Reade, Erin Parrish
- Abstract
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.
