If H1N1v neuroinvasion will be confirmed, this could change a lot the outcome of a widespread dispersion of this virus into communities.

One of the main concerns arisen at 1976 time of Fort Dix epidemic consisted in neurological invasion of H1N1 precursor, notably the 1918-spanish flu H1N1 and the older 1889-90 pandemic virus.

Severe form of post-encephalitis parkinsonism emerged both in Italy after 1889-90 pandemic and in Europe after 1916-1919 ''spanish flu'' epidemics and pandemic.

More information about neuroinvasion in south American patients is clearly urgently needed.

Scary. Hadn't thought of those possibilities. My grandmother was young when she got the 1918 pandemic flu. She was fortunate enough not to get parkinsons, or parkinsons related disease, until her 80s, and it wasn't severe until her 90s. Still, her doctors thought her illness was from the 1918 flu as it did not follow what Parkinsons usually does.

High fever can cause seizure, but its usually in the very young.
