Influenza-associated encephalopathy is a clinically diverse syndrome and severe cases are not well documented outside Japan. Clinical, pathological and molecular aspects are described of two fatal cases presenting during 2004 and 2005 winter seasons in The Netherlands. Results showed that severe influenza can resemble hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome, and proper testing for influenza virus should be considered in similar cases. The failure to detect viral replication in non-pulmonary organs including the brain would support the pathogenesis of this syndrome is based on proinflammatory cytokine responses.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

D009981 Influenza B virus Species of the genus BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS that cause HUMAN INFLUENZA and other diseases primarily in humans. Antigenic variation is less extensive than in type A viruses (INFLUENZA A VIRUS) and consequently there is no basis for distinct subtypes or variants. Epidemics are less likely than with INFLUENZA A VIRUS and there have been no pandemics. Previously only found in humans, Influenza B virus has been isolated from seals which may constitute the animal reservoir from which humans are exposed.
