Case Report: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever with Ischemic Stroke
We report a case of ischemic stroke in a patient with dengue hemorrhagic fever. A 52-year-old previously healthy male presented with a history of fever for 2 days, and left-sided weakness and numbness of sudden onset. MRI scanning showed a right-sided thalamic lacunar infarct. Diagnosis of dengue fever was made based on leuco-thrombocytopenia, positive dengue nonstructural protein-1 (NS-1) antigen, and positive dengue IgM antibodies. Severity of limb weakness correlated with the critical phase of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). He was discharged home with good recovery from neurological symptoms and disability. Strokes are...

Major acute cardiovascular events after dengue infection –A population-based observational study
ConclusionsThe risks for MACEs are significantly higher in the immediate time period after dengue infection. Since dengue infection is potentially preventable by early recognition and vaccination, the dengue-associated MACE should be taken into consideration when making public health management policies.

Heart attack death rates halve from 2001-12 but cancer mortalities rise
But ONS mortality data for period show circulatory disease as overall top cause of deaths in England and WalesDeaths from heart attacks and stroke halved in England and Wales over the first 11 years of this century, while the numbers dying from cancer rose, according to newly published mortality data from the Office for National Statistics.The 21st century mortality files from the ONS contain a vast amount of data not only about the big killers of modern times but also the more surprising and less likely accidental causes of mortality.Only three people died from snake bites, all men, between 2001 and 2012. One man died of ...

Diseases Neglected by the Media in Espírito Santo, Brazil in 2011–2012
Conclusions Media visibility acts as a strategy for legitimising priorities and contextualizing various realities. Therefore, we propose that the health problems identified should enter the public agenda and begin to be recognized as legitimate demands.

Diabetic patients suffering dengue are at risk for development of dengue shock syndrome/severe dengue: emphasizing the impacts of co-existing comorbidity(ies) and glycemic control on dengue severity
Conclusions These data could help narrow down the number of targets in the triage for risky DM2 dengue patients to those with suboptimal glycemic control and co-existing comorbidity(ies).

Cerebral vasculitis and lateral rectus palsy – two rare central nervous system complications of dengue fever: two case reports and review of the literature
ConclusionsCentral nervous system vasculitis due to dengue infection is a very rare phenomenon, and to the best of our knowledge, only one case of central nervous system vasculitis has been reported to date, in a patient of pediatric age. Cranial nerve palsy related to dengue infection is also rare, and only a few cases of isolated abducens nerve palsy have been reported to date. The two cases described in this report illustrate the rare but important central nervous system manifestations of dengue fever and support the fact that the central nervous system is one of the important systems that can be affected in patients with dengue infection.
