Summary
Dengue encephalitis, a rare neurological complication of dengue fever, can present with seizures and altered consciousness. This case highlights a patient with confirmed dengue fever who developed encephalitis, emphasizing the need for awareness of its rare neurological manifestations.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
- Virology
Background:
- Dengue fever presents with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic infection to severe complications like dengue shock syndrome.
- Neurological complications associated with dengue virus infection are infrequent.
- Dengue encephalitis, a direct central nervous system involvement by the dengue virus, is an exceptionally rare occurrence.

Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon
530
The tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomenon is a cognitive experience characterized by a temporary inability to retrieve specific information from memory despite having a strong feeling of knowing the information. Although individuals cannot access the target word or detail, they frequently recall related elements, such as its initial letter, syllable count, or context. This partial retrieval often causes frustration, as one might recognize a familiar face or know that a name starts with a specific...

Methods of reducing fever
1.4K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?
8.2K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
