Dengue-Associated Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome, Vietnam

Dengue can cause neurologic complications in addition to the more common manifestations of plasma leakage and coagulopathy.

Descripción
Sumario:Dengue can cause neurologic complications in addition to the more common manifestations of plasma leakage and coagulopathy. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome has rarely been described in dengue, although the pathophysiology of endothelial dysfunction likely underlies both. We describe a case of dengue-associated posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and discuss diagnosis and management.
