Abstract

We report an adolescent with respiratory symptoms admitted for clinical signs of an acute abdomen. The only diagnostic finding was influenza A viral RNA detected in an upper respiratory tract specimen. Influenza should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children with respiratory illness and abdominal pain during influenza season.
