Özet

Influenza associated myositis has generally a clearly defined clinical picture. However, it may cause diagnostic confusion and unnecessary work up due to unfamiliarity with this condition by the medical staff. In this report, retrospective clinical and laboratory data about 10 children with influenza associated myositis diagnosed among all admissions to emergency room of a tertiary referral centre during the cold season of 2013-2014 was presented to increase awareness of this clinical issue.
