Abstract

Acute Onset Transient Toe Walking in a 4 yr. Old Boy due to H1N1 Influenza a Virus Infection

During a recent influenza outbreak, a 4 year boy presented to us with acute onset toe walking following an episode of upper respiratory tract infection. Investigations were suggestive of myositis due to Influenza A virus. His symptoms subsided within 72 hours of admission and he made a full recovery with supportive care alone.
