Brachial neuritis is a rare disease in children, affecting mainly the lower motor neurons of the brachial plexus and/or individual nerves or nerve branches. We report a case of idiopathic brachial plexus neuritis in a 2½-year-old female child admitted with acute respiratory distress and given antibiotic therapy following which she developed weakness of the left hand. She was diagnosed as a case of idiopathic brachial plexus neuritis and was given supportive care. Although, the association with antibiotic therapy in this case could be incidental, indeed it is intriguing and requires further studies.
臂丛神经炎在儿童中是一种罕见疾病，主要影响臂丛神经和/或单个神经或神经分支的下运动神经元。我们报告一例2岁半女童特发性臂丛神经炎病例，该患儿因急性呼吸窘迫入院并接受抗生素治疗，之后出现左手无力。她被诊断为特发性臂丛神经炎并接受了支持治疗。尽管该病例中与抗生素治疗的关联可能是偶然的，但确实很有趣，需要进一步研究。
