Dengue encephalitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fever with altered sensorium, especially in countries like India where dengue is rampant. Physicians must have a high index of suspicion or else this uncommon manifestation of a common disease can be …

Neurological manifestations like encephalitis, especially hemorrhagic encephalitis, are rarely described in dengue fever (DF), and the gamut may affect any part of the central or peripheral nervous system. Herein, we report two cases from Northern ...

In summary, there is no clear expert consensus on classification of encephalopathy versus encephalitis syndromes in dengue infection. Differentiation between dengue encephalopathy and encephalitis will be of increasing importance, especially with increasing dengue prevalence.

2017年5月18日 · Dengue encephalitis is thought to be benign, but can be fatal at times. The role of an antiviral in such cases needs to be further defined because of the extensive parenchymal involvement and possible unfavorable outcome.

2024年7月7日 · Dengue encephalitis is a rare condition resulting from direct involvement of the central nervous system by the dengue virus, it is one of many viral encephalitides and flavivirus encephalitides.

Symptoms include headache, altered consciousness, & seizures, with MRI often revealing involvement of the thalamus, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, & cerebellar hemispheres.

2002年7月20日 · The re-emergence of dengue as an important pathogen justifies its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute onset of encephalitis in endemic countries or with a travel history suggestive of dengue exposure.

Neurological complications can be categorised into dengue encephalopathy (eg, caused by hepatic failure or metabolic disorders), encephalitis (caused by direct virus invasion), neuromuscular complications (eg, Guillain-Barré syndrome or transient muscle dysfunctions), and neuro-ophthalmic involvement.

Dengue encephalitis occurs by a direct involvement of central nervous system by the dengue virus which is an extremely rare complication. A 33-year-old man presented with fever, vomiting and severe headache.
