A Case of Influenza A (H3N2) Complicated by Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Death in a Young Healthy Adult during the 2013-2014 Season.
Abstract
With multiple available vaccines and antivirals, seasonal influenza A is typically
a self-limited acutely debilitating illness in young healthy adults. Here, we illustrate
unexpected morbidity and mortality in a relatively young and healthy patient seen
at a large tertiary care academic medical center for seasonal influenza A (H3N2) complicated
by community-acquired pneumonia, hypoxic respiratory failure, septic shock, and death.
