Development of acute ischemic stroke in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) resulting from H1N1 pneumonia.

Pneumonia due to H1N1 infection is now very common. We report a case of ischemic stroke which arose subsequently to H1N1 influenza. The patient was a female who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after H1N1 influenza, was ventilated as per standard protocol and started treatment with oseltamivir.
