The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence, and clinical and laboratory features of acute viral myositis in children with influenza in 2019 and 2020.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in Ali Asghar Hospital, from December 2019 to February 2020. Children aged 2\u201314 years with symptoms of acute onset of fever, along with the symptoms of influenza with or without muscle pain who referred to the emergency department of Hazrat Ali Asghar Children\u2019s Hospital, were included in the study. The data were collected and analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Out of the 105 participants in this study, 62 (59%) were male and the rest were female. The average age of the patients was 5.34 years (SD = 2.63). Clinical signs of lower limb pain, myalgia, lameness, weakness, and lethargy were significantly more common in patients with myositis (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      -value &lt;

due to the self-limitation of this complication and lack of the need for complex treatments in case of early diagnosis, physicians can diagnose and treat many cases, depending on the clinical symptoms and the accuracy of the examination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1940_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,30]],"date-time":"2022-06-30T10:17:00Z","timestamp":1656584220000},"page":"2744-2749","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Evaluation of the prevalence and clinical and laboratory features of acute viral myositis in children with influenza referred to the emergency department of Ali Asghar Tehran Hospital in 2019 and 2020"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Motahare A.","family":"Delavar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Ali Asghar Children\u2019s Hospital, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hamidreza K.","family":"Ebrahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Ali Asghar Children Hospital, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nafise","family":"Borhani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Ali Asghar Children\u2019s Hospital, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pegah","family":"Karimian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Ali Asghar Children\u2019s Hospital, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fahimeh","family":"Ehsanipour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, School of Medicine Iran University of Medical Sciences, Hazrat-e Rasool General Hospital, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shabahang","family":"Jafarnejad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Ali Asghar Children Hospital, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Somayeh","family":"Esmaeilian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Medicine Management Research Center, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Ali Asghar Children Hospital, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"141","DOI":"10.1016\/S0891-5520(05)70222-1","article-title":"Influenza","volume":"14","author":"Stamboulian","year":"2000","journal-title":"Infect Dis Clin North Am"},{"key":"B2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"18","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1957.tb08627.x","article-title":"Myalgia cruris epidemica","volume":"46","author":"Lundberg","year":"1957","journal-title":"Acta Paediatr (Oslo, Norway:1992)"},{"key":"B3-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"430","DOI":"10.1097\/00002281-200009000-00014","article-title":"Inflammatory myositis in children, including differential diagnosis","volume":"12","author":"Cawkwell","year":"2000","journal-title":"Curr Opin Rheumatol"},{"key":"B4-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1671","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1980.00330230117025","article-title":"Acute rhabdomyolysis associated with an echovirus 9 infection","volume":"140","author":"Josselson","year":"1980","journal-title":"Arch Intern Med"},{"key":"B5-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"400","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0000000000000830","article-title":"Outcome of benign acute childhood myositis:The experience of 2 large tertiary care pediatric hospitals","volume":"34","author":"Rosenberg","year":"2018","journal-title":"Pediatr Emerg Care"},{"key":"B6-20240828","first-page":"257","article-title":"Acute transient myositis associated with influenza virus infection","volume":"8","author":"Stang","year":"1989","journal-title":"Pediatr Infect Dis J"},{"key":"B7-20240828","first-page":"262","article-title":"Acute renal failure and Coxsackie viral infection","volume":"16","author":"Dunnet","year":"1981","journal-title":"Clinical nephrology"},{"key":"B8-20240828","first-page":"177","article-title":"Severe rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure following recent Coxsackie B virus infection","volume":"61","author":"Fodili","year":"2003","journal-title":"Neth J Med"},{"issue":"10","key":"B9-20240828","first-page":"1921","article-title":"[Acute myositis associated with influenza].
