Abstract
Influenza is an important cause of acute respiratory illness in children. While influenza infections can manifest with neuropsychiatric symptoms,1 such symptoms could be attributed to antivirals or a combination of antivirals and influenza. The incidence of influenza-associated neuropsychiatric events in US children is unknown.2,3 We assessed the incidence of influenza-associated serious neuropsychiatric events in children and adolescents.Keywords
