摘要
Dengue fever, which is caused by the dengue virus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, usually manifests as flu-like symptoms and is a prevalent tropical illness. However, there are rare cases where the infection takes an unusual course, resulting in severe complications like dengue encephalitis. This case report delineates an occurrence of dengue encephalitis in a patient from Sri Lanka. It provides insights into the clinical presentation, diagnostic difficulties, and treatment approaches linked to this uncommon manifestation of dengue fever.
