Dengue is caused by an arbovirus belonging to the Flaviviridae family. It has four serotypes: Dengue virus (DENV) nonstructural (NS1) antigen to DENV NS4 antigen. DENV NS2 and NS3 are most frequently implicated in the neurological manifestations that have been reported to occur in 0.5–7.4% of symptomatic cases.1 Though classically considered a nonneurotropic virus, neurological complications are commonly seen in dengue. We report a case of 28-year-old female with postdengue hemorrhagic encephalitis in whom full clinical recovery occurred after treatment, including reversal of the neuroimaging pattern seen in dengue.
