Influenza is a generally self-limited infection agent that only rarely causes severe complications. To increase awareness about its serious complications, we report three cases of influenza A (H1N1) infection complicated with hemolytic uremic syndrome, myocarditis and acute necrotizing encephalopathy. In all three cases, nasopharyngeal samples confirmed influenza A (H1N1) infection by antigen test and multiplex PCR detection. The first case, a 3-year-old girl, had respiratory distress, anemia, thrombocytopenia and renal failure at admission, and was diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome. Supportive treatment and oseltamivir did not prevent the development of chronic renal failure. The second case, a 5-year-old girl admitted with lethargia and flu-like symtoms and was diagnosed with myocarditis and cardiogenic shock. Oseltamivir and supportive treatment including extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) failed. She died on the 3rd day of admission. The third case, a 21-month-old boy, presented with decreased level of consciousness and was diagnosed with acute necrotizing encephalopathy with the aid of cranial magnetic resonance imagining (MRI). He was discharged without any neurological sequelae three weeks after admission. It should be kept in mind that influenza virus does not always cause a self-limited flu. Multidisciplinary management, early diagnosis and antiviral treatment are critical for the disease and to prevent its life-threatening complications.

OBJETIVO: Analisar o perfil dos indivíduos acometidos pelo vírus Influenza A (H1N1), e o impacto vacinal nos grupos prioritários à vacinação. MÉTODOS: Estudo ecológico, observacional, de caráter retrospectivo, com população de indivíduos residentes na cidade de Maringá-PR e submetidos à internação por Influenza A entre 2009 e 2010. RESULTADOS: No ano de 2009, ocorreram 614 internações decorrentes de infecção pelo vírus Influenza A em Maringá-PR. A disponibilização da vacina fez com que o número de acometidos diminuísse para 169 em 2010, ocorrendo impacto vacinal nos seguintes grupos populacionais: gestantes, portadores de doenças crônicas e adultos de 20 a 39 anos. CONCLUSÃO: Identificou-se a necessidade de estender a faixa etária de vacinação para crianças de 2 a 4 anos e preenchimento dos impressos de vacinação dos indivíduos e grupos vacinados com maior rigor.
