14-3-3 Protein Detection in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients With Influenza-Associated Encephalopathy

Abstract

Influenza-associated encephalopathy is characterized by high fever, convulsions, and loss of consciousness associated with influenza infection in children, but its pathophysiology remains to be clarified. We examined 14-3-3 proteins, which
