Open-access Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in classic dengue

Encefalomielite disseminada aguda em dengue clássica

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.
