Summary
This study reports a rare case of co-infection with dengue and Japanese encephalitis (JE) viruses, showing brainstem and thalamic involvement. It highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by these arboviral diseases in tropical regions.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
- Arbovirology
Background:
- Dengue and Japanese encephalitis (JE) are prevalent arboviral diseases in tropical regions.
- JE virus is recognized as a neurotropic virus, while dengue is typically not considered neurotropic.
- Recent reports suggest potential direct central nervous system (CNS) involvement in dengue infections.

Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...
