Patients (15) with recent influenza B infection were admitted to 3 Dallas [Texas, USA] hospitals in the first 11 wk of 1977. The patients'' ages ranged from 4-73 yr with a median of 18 yr. Most had no significant underlying disease. The spectrum of clinical illness included post-influenzal bacterial pneumonia (3 cases), other severe chest disease (2 cases), hyperpyrexia and possible rhabdomyolysis in the elderly (2 cases), onset of toxemia of pregnancy, thyroid dysfunction, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, neurologic disorders (2 cases) and Reye''s syndrome (3 cases). Two patients died. Two elderly men with high fever and weakness entered the hospital within 3 days of illness and 2 of 3 patients with Reye''s syndrome were admitted 4 days after the onset of influenza, but the 11 other patients gave a history of 7-31 days of symptoms before being hospitalized. Morbidity and mortality with influenza B are neither trivial nor restricted to debilitated hosts.
