Abstract

During the influenza epidemic of 1998-1999, we observed two elderly patients with influenza-like symptoms who had evidence of acute myositis with elevated serum enzymes. Influenza A infection was confirmed serologically in either case. The present cases suggest that it is important to distinguish influenzal myositis from other forms of myopathy in the elderly patients.
