Pandemik İnfluenza A (H1N1) virüsü ile ilişkili akut miyoperikardit

Pandemik İnfluenza A (H1N1) virüsü, sıklıkla mevsimsel gribe benzer üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu bulgularına yol açsa da, virüs ile ilişkili ölümcül olabilen pnömoni, ansefalit ve miyokardit gibi komplikasyonlar gelişebilmektedir. Bu yazıda ateş, öksürük ve kusma yakınmalarını izleyerek gelişen akut solunum sıkıntısı tablosuyla başvuran ve İnfluenza A (H1N1) virüsü ile ilişkili miyoperikardit tanısı alan iki yaşında bir kız olgu sunuldu.

Although pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus may cause an upper respiratory tract infection similar to that caused by seasonal influenza, it can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and myocarditis. We describe a 2-year-old girl admitted with fever, cough, and vomiting followed by acute respiratory distress and diagnosed as H1N1-related myopericarditis.
