A 58-year-old man with previous myocardial infarction presented to our hospital with fever, cough, and dyspnea.

Combination of a neuraminidase inhibitor, antibiotics, an anticoagulant, and anti-platelet agent improved these complications; however, amputation of the patient's right foot was required. Because influenza can cause vascular events, physicians should pay attention to this complication in patients with influenza-associated pneumonia.
