Abstract

Influenza infection in children may be associated with neurological complications, including seizures and encephalitis, as well as suspected acute viral myositis, which may result in significant morbidity.
Objective
This study aimed to estimate the incidence of neurological complications and suspected acute viral myositis in pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed influenza and explore clinical and epidemiological characteristics potentially associated with these complications.
