【 摘 要 】

To describe seizures occurring in 3 healthy adults with influenza infection. Seizures associated to influenza infection are rare in adults without encephalitis. Clinical observations of 3 healthy adult patients with influenza A and B infection and seizures. We present here 3 healthy adult patients with seizures related to influenza A or B infection without evidence encephalitis, encephalopathy or any other cause for seizures. Prognosis was excellent. Seizures can occur in healthy adults with influenza infection without evidence of encephalitis, a possibility to be borne in mind to avoid potentially harmful therapeutic and diagnostic procedures.
