5/ A really bad form of this is acute necrotizing encephalopathy, leading to literal brain damage 🧠 37 kids got this - from flu And the worst bit is only 16% of the kids with flu-related encephalopathy who could get a flu shot had actually gotten one GET 👏 YOUR 👏 FLU 👏 SHOT

Acute necrotizing encephalopathy is a rare but incredibly serious complication of infections like flu & covid. It often causes severe disability or death. Please get your kids their covid & flu vaccines; the families reported on in this story have to live w/ regret. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/h...

Influenza and acute necrotizing encephalopathy – the genetic dimension ANE. A rare complication with hidden genetic clues. Imagine a healthy child who goes to bed with a fever and wakes up unable to recognize their parents, slipping rapidly into coma. This is the terrifying course of acute…

1️⃣ ANE while rare, is extremely serious, it can be deadly within a short period of time. 2️⃣ Most children with ANE were previously healthy. 3️⃣ Most of those with ANE & nearly all of those who died had not received the flu vaccine that season." #influenza #vaccineswork #acutenecrotizingencephalopathy

👶Jasper was a happy, thriving 11 month old. Then, an unknown virus triggered ANE. 📖 In this new story, Jasper's mother shares their experience & captures the devastating speed & impact of #AcuteNecrotizingEncephalopathy. Read Here➡️ aneinternational.org/jasper/ #PedsICU #medicalemergency #virus

“I felt like I was robbed, we were robbed, of the opportunity to protect our children.” Zach lost his daughter to influenza before the vaccine was recommended for all kids. If you’re a parent here’s what he has to say. youtu.be/5zBrARHsayE?... #NIAM2025

Influenza, not Tamiflu, may raise risk of neuropsychiatric events in kids Treatment with oseltamivir was associated with an approximately 50% reduction in the incidence of serious neuropsychiatric events. www.cidrap.umn.edu/i...

🎥 In this expert talk, Dr. Ming Lim, Head of Children’s Neuroscience at Evelina London Children’s Hospital and King’s College London, breaks down the science behind ANE—and explains why early recognition and genetic testing matter. #medsky #genetics #ANEawareness m.youtube.com/watch?v=edV0...

1/ In Jan 2025, CDC received reports of children w severe influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE), including cases of acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE), a rare but life-threatening complication. Several cases were fatal. The CDC investigated trends in IAE deaths.🧵 www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

It's Rare Disease Day tomorrow. Rare Disease Day is the opportunity to advocate for rare diseases as a human rights priority at local, national and international level as we work towards a more inclusive society. #rarediseaseday #Acutenecrotizingencephalopathy #ANEawareness www.aneinternational.org

1/ Timely discussion at #SCCM2025 about pediatric influenza necrotizing encephalopathy. We are seeing more this season and is proving to be rapid & deadly. Take home points: -elevated IL-6 and plasma and CSF - flu + altered mental status = CT scan. We will overscan, but pts survive if caught early

Another critical reason to consider vaccination for children >6 months: Flu has been linked to cases of ANE, or acute necrotizing encephalopathy. This serious neurological condition can result in brain swelling, seizures, and coma. 3/4

#AcuteNecrotizingEncephalopathy occurs following a viral infection such as #influenza & can sometimes be fatal. In children with severe ANE, seizures may occur & there may be a rapid progression to a comatose state within 24–72 hours from the onset of symptoms. aneinternational.org

1. #Flu activity in the US is really starting to pick up — just in time for the multi-generational gatherings at Christmas, Hanukkah & over the new year. Map on the left shows activity for the week ending Dec. 7. Look at the change in the following week (right). www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

NBC: “Flu shots fall among kids, hitting their lowest point in years: The U.S. last year hit a grim milestone: the most pediatric flu deaths since before the pandemic.”

Radiologic findings of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the pediatric population are diverse. Neuroimaging studies should be considered in critically ill patients to rule out neurologic involvement and facilitate early interventions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
