INTRODUCTIONDengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease of mankind, with a 30 fold increase in global incidence over the last 5 decades. It is a major public health concern throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.Almost half of the world's population lives in countries where dengue is endemic. According to WHO, about 50-100 million dengue infections are estimated to occur annually in more than 100 endemic countries. ABSTRACTBackground: Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease of mankind. According to WHO, about 50-100 million new dengue infections are estimated to occur annually in more than 100 endemic countries. So, the present study has been done to analyzed varied clinical and laboratory profile of confirm dengue cases. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study was undertaken among 106 adult Ig M Ab positive cases admitted during October 2015 to September 2017. All patients were evaluated clinically and subjected for relevant laboratory investigations.Results: In our study male and female ratio was 20.2:1. Most common symptom was fever (95.3%) and least common was jaundice. Second most symptom was headache (70.8%). Myalgia was present in 49.1% of cases. 54.7% had nausea/vomiting. Hypotension was noticed in 33% of cases whereas encephalopathy and melaena was found in 6.6% and 2.83% respectively. Leucopenia was present in 57.5% and thrombocytopenia in 50.9% of cases. Conclusions: Younger male were commonly affected with dengue fever and promptly responded to conservative therapy due to early confirmation of diagnosis. Mortality was only 1.8% cases, may be due to delay in seeking medical attention.

Background: Dengue and Japanese encephalitis are considered as one of the most common arbovirus diseases in tropics. Dengue virus has a wide spectrum of presentation starting from the classical dengue fever to dengue encephalitis and dengue shock syndrome. Moreover, Japanese encephalitis, which is one of the major public health problems in most of the South East Asian countries including India, may present with similar clinical picture mimicking dengue encephalitis. Case Report: We report the case of a 34 year old male patient who presented to the emergency department with complaints of fever and subsequently developed altered mental status. Investigations of the patient revealed dengue NS1 antigen positive but Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings were suggestive of Japanese encephalitis. Conclusion: Here, we discuss the likelihood of DengueJapanese encephalitis co-infection in endemic countries where both dengue and Japanese encephalitis are common.

“…Dengue virus, classically labeled as a nonneurotropic virus [3], is associated with numerous rare neurological manifestations of dengue infection such as transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and myositis [4,5]. Dengue encephalopathy is now a well-recognized, though uncommon, entity with incidence ranging from 0.5% to 6.2% [6].…”

Dengue encephalopathy or dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) with neurological involvement was once considered to be one of the rarer presentations of this infectious agent. In recent years, many such clinical cases have been reported, though they still remain isolated. We hereby report a case of confirmed dengue fever with features of encephalopathy with previously unreported cranial magnetic resonance imaging findings suggestive of extensive involvement of the bilateral cerebellar region, brainstem, and thalami along with peculiar rim enhancement but normal cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
