Acute necrotising encephalopathy, a serious neurological complication, has been observed in some individuals following influenza infections. This condition presents as a fatal neurological event, often characterized by rapid deterioration and death. The incidence of this complication is relatively rare, but it highlights potential risks associated with influenza illness. Research continues to investigate the underlying mechanisms and risk factors involved in this complex outcome. The symptoms typically include confusion, seizures, and paralysis.
