چکیده

objective this is the first report of cns involvement by the new influenza virus (influenza a [h1n1]) in iran. the patient was a 10-year-old boy with chief complaints of fever, malaise, and cranial nerve involvement, resulting in respiratory muscle paralysis and intubation. this shows that the new influenza virus, as well as the seasonal flu, can cause neurologic complications; however, the severity of the signs and symptoms is less and the disease may resolve without complications in the case of seasonal flu. therefore, in each patient with neurologic involvement and typical influenza signs & symptoms or a flu-like syndrome, diagnostic tests for h1n1 flu virus should be considered, especially during epidemics, and treatment with oseltamivir should be started.
