Surveillance of H1N1-related neurological complications [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) described the first patients who developed neurological complications associated with the 2009 influenza A H1N1 virus, the first influenza pandemic of the 21st century. We retrospectively reviewed all patients diagnosed with H1N1 infection in two major hospitals in Singapore from June, 2009, to October, 2009, to determine the burden of neurological complications. The patients, aged 15–57 years, all had onset of neurological complications within 1 week of onset of symptoms of influenza. Most patients were treated with oseltamivir and any underlying neurological disorders were also treated. In our cohort, neurological complications associated with the H1N1 virus were generally mild but also notably affected individuals older than 15 years. The vaccine against pandemic H1N1 has recently become available. Neurologists, infectious disease physicians, and pediatricians in Singapore are planning coordinated surveillance to estimate the overall national burden of neurological complications of H1N1 infection.
