Abstract
Neurological manifestation is considered a rare complication of dengue infection. Neurological and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings of 13 patients with dengue infection were studied. Seven patients had encephalitis, two had myelitis and four showed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). No alteration in CSF was found from 57% of those with encephalitis. Patients with GBS and myelitis showed a CSF-blood barrier dysfunction. The differences in the CSF may be related to the location of the lesion and multiple mechanisms of the disease in the nervous system.Entities:
