    A child developed encephalitis after influenza A virus infection. Unique brain imaging findings in the putamina were observed, not previously documented in post-influenza encephalitis cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Influenza A virus is a common respiratory pathogen.
    • Post-influenza encephalitis is a rare but serious complication.
    • Understanding the neurological manifestations of influenza is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A 2-year-old girl presented with encephalitis following influenza A virus infection.
    • Brain computed tomography (CT) revealed symmetrical hypodense lesions in the putamina.
    • Contrast enhancement around these lesions appeared 2 days post-encephalitis onset.

    Findings:

    • The CT findings of symmetrical putaminal hypodensities with surrounding contrast enhancement are novel.
    • This specific pattern has not been previously reported in the literature for post-influenzal encephalitis.

  • The observations suggest a unique neuroimaging signature associated with this specific case.

    • Implications:

    • These findings expand the spectrum of known neurological complications of influenza A virus.
    • The unique imaging findings may aid in the diagnosis of similar encephalitis cases.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the pathogenesis of these specific brain lesions.
