    Abstract:
    Dengue fever (DF) is an important public health problem, and it is now endemic in more than 100 countries worldwide. Dengue associated neurological complication is estimated to be affecting 0.5 to 6.2% of patients. Even though this is rare, neurological manifestation of DF is an increasingly recognized entity in recent years due to significant mortality and morbidity reported/seen. Reported central nervous system manifestations due to dengue include encephalitis, encephalopathy, myelitis, myositis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, stroke and etc. We report here a case of acute necrotizing encephalopathy secondary to DF in a previously healthy 12-year-old girl.
