ABSTRACT. Objectives. Our objectives were to (1) describe the clinical characteristics of and viruses isolated from patients who presented with neurologic symptoms associated with influenza A infection and were hospitalized at Texas Children's Hospital during October and November 2003 and (2) to raise awareness of the neurologic complications of influenza among US children.Methods. We reviewed the medical and laboratory records of all children who were hospitalized with neurologic symptoms and who also had evidence of influenza virus infection by rapid antigen testing or viral isolation.

ABSTRACT. Objectives. To compare the incidence of febrile seizures in children hospitalized for influenza A infection with parainfluenza and adenovirus infection and to examine the hypothesis that children hospitalized for influenza A (variant Sydney/H3N2) during the 1998 season in Hong Kong had more frequent and refractory seizures when compared with other respiratory viruses, including the A/Wuhan H3N2 variant that was present in the previous year.Methods. Medical records of children between 6 months and 5 years of age admitted for influenza A infection in 1998 were reviewed. For comparison, records of children of the same age group with influenza A infection in 1997, and with parainfluenza and adenovirus infections between 1996 and 1998 were reviewed. Children who were afebrile or who had an underlying neurologic disorder were excluded.

“…The LMA was inserted one minute after completion of induction and following the loss of lash reflex and the relaxation of the jaw. The anesthesiologist who inserted the LMAs (B.A.-S.), blinded to the type of the LMA, used the standard technique of insertion 4 applying standardized clinical tests to evaluate the correct placement of the LMA. 5 Using a fibrescope with its tip located at the inner aperture of the LMA, another anesthesiologist (D.P.)…”
