Abstract

During a recent influenza outbreak, a 4 year boy presented to us with acute onset toe walking following an episode of upper respiratory tract infection. Investigations were suggestive of myositis due to Influenza A virus. His symptoms subsided within 72 hours of admission and he made a full recovery with supportive care alone.
