About
The Pediatric Pandemic Network's page on Influenza-Associated Encephalopathy (IAE) and Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy (ANE) highlights the severe neurological complications that can arise in children following influenza infections. It emphasizes that young children, particularly those under 5 years old and unvaccinated, are at higher risk. The page underscores the importance of early recognition, supportive care, and immunomodulatory treatments to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with these conditions. It also notes the lack of dedicated U.S. surveillance for IAE and ANE among children, making it challenging to determine if recent cases exceed expected numbers.
