Infectious Encephalopathies and Encephalitis

Abstract During the 1994–1995 outbreak of dengue fever in New Caledonia (1079 cases), two cases of encephalopathy were seen. Both patients suffered transient clinical (drowsiness, confusion) and electroencephalographic disturbances from which they fully recovere d. Although this condition has been described in dengue infection a number of different pathological mechanisms are probably implicated.
