Abstract A case of
dengue virus 3 (DENV-3)
genotype I
infection with
neurological manifestations occurred in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais in October 2012. The
serotype was detected by
PCR, and the
genotype was assessed by sequencing and
phylogenetic analysis of the C-prM region. The
virus causing
neurological manifestations clustered with other sequences of DENV-3
genotype I. Because
neurological manifestations of DENV are possibly misdiagnosed in
Brazil, this study serves as an alert of the importance of DENV
diagnoses in
CNS infections.
