The symptoms and findings of influenza A (H1N1) resemble the symptoms and
findings of seasonal influenza and it generally emerges as an upper respiratory
tract disease. Although the majority of patients with the influenza A virus
recover spontaneously without complications, there have been occasional reports
of myopericarditis. However the most frequent complications have been reported
as viral pneumonia and more rarely dilated cardiomyopathy. In this paper, we report a 4-month-old infant, who admitted with shortness
of breath, cough, tachycardia and respiratory problems and was diagnosed as
having developed dilated cardiomyopathy associated with H1N1.
