Özet

Herein we present a neutropenic 16-year-old female with acute myeloblastic leukemia that developed recurrent generalized seizures while receiving antimicrobial therapy (including oseltamivir) due to pneumonia, bacteremia of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and H1N1 infection. The patient's seizures were controlled using assisted ventilation. Electroencephalography showed that the patient had encephalopathy. Cranial computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and MRI angiography findings were normal. The patient fully recovered without sequelae. This case indicates that during pandemics of influenza-like diseases H1N1 infection should always be a consideration.
