Neurodengue, a narrative review of the literature
Abstract
Dengue fever (DF) is the most frequent arboviral disease globally. Deforestation, armed conflicts, and climate change have caused an unprecedented global spread of DF, raising concerns in healthcare systems worldwide. Systemic manifestations of the disease range from mild to severe and, in some cases, can lead to death. Although neurological complications have been reported over the last few decades, they are often neglected or underreported. The present narrative review aims to describe the most important central and peripheral nervous system complications and provide guidance to neurologists in terms of diagnosis and management.
A dengue é a arbovirose mais frequente no mundo. O desmatamento, os conflitos armados e as mudanças climáticas levaram a uma disseminação global e sem precedentes da dengue, o que gera preocupações na maioria dos sistemas de saúde em todo o mundo. As manifestações sistêmicas variam de leves a graves, incluindo morte. Complicações neurológicas têm sido descritas nas últimas décadas, mas geralmente são negligenciadas ou subnotificadas. O objetivo desta revisão narrativa é descrever as complicações neurológicas centrais e periféricas e auxiliar os neurologistas em seu diagnóstico e manejo.
