Abstract

BRITO, Carlos A.A.; SOBREIRA, Silvana; CORDEIRO, Marli Tenório  and  LUCENA-SILVA, Norma. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in classic dengue. Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop. [online]. 2007, vol.40, n.2, pp. 236-238. ISSN 0037-8682.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0037-86822007000200019.

Neurological manifestation is uncommon in dengue infection. The pathogenesis of central nervous system involvement is controversial. We report a rare case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in classic dengue, with isolation of serotype 3 in liquor. This condition was associated with significant structural damage detected by magnetic resonance.

Keywords : Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis; Dengue; Neurological symptoms.
