Description
Summary: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. Manifestação neurológica é incomum em dengue. A patogênese do acometimento do sistema nervosa central é controversa. Nós relatamos um raro caso de encefalomielite disseminada aguda em dengue clássica, com isolamento do sorotipo 3 em líquor. O quadro estava associado a significativo dano estrutural detectado pela ressonância magnética.
