Case Scenario #6

A 59-year-old woman went to see her doctor, as she had been unwell for the past 3 days. She initially noticed a nonproductive cough, and then she became abruptly worse with a marked fever, headache, and shivering. Since then she had developed muscle aches all over her body, especially in the legs, and her eyes had become watery and painful to move. She was a nonsmoker, previously fit and well, and on no regular medication. On examination, she was febrile (38.2∞C), and had difficulty in breathing through her nose, but there were no other abnormal physical signs. A throat swab was taken, broken off into viral transport medium, and sent to the laboratory. Immunofluorescent staining with a monoclonal antibody against influenza A virus was positive, confirming a diagnosis of acute influenza virus infection.
