Ischemic Stroke in Dengue Fever: Unusual Complication of a Common Disease

ABSTRACT

Dengue fever is an arboviral infection, which is highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates. It is frequently associated with neurological complications but its association with ischemic stroke is ill defined. We present a case of an apparently healthy young male admitted with dengue fever complicated by ischemic infarct in corpus callosum. Our patient was managed conservatively, improved clinically and discharged in satisfactory condition.
