Abstract

Children under the age of five are more vulnerable to influenza because they are an immunologically naÎve population. When treating a child with viral pneumonia, severe consequences after an influenza infection must be considered. Here we are reporting a case series of 2 atypical severe influenza B pneumonia cases in children complicated with necrotising pneumonia, pneumothorax, and encephalitis.
