To present a case of influenza A infection complicated with focal encephalitis, meningitis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
A 35-year-old woman presented with fever, headache, cough, and body aches. Seizures, altered consciousness, and dyspnea occurred later. A nasopharyngeal swab revealed a positive reaction for the influenza A antigen.
