| Core Tip |
Dengue virus is an under-recognized but clinically relevant cause of encephalitis in tropical Asia, where acute encephalitis syndrome remains etiologically heterogeneous. Emerging evidence of dengue virus serotype 3 neuroinvasion highlights diagnostic gaps arising from overlapping clinical features and limitations of conventional assays. Incorporating dengue testing within integrated, multi-pathogen diagnostic frameworks - combining molecular, serological, and advanced platforms such as metagenomic next-generation sequencing - can improve etiological attribution, surveillance accuracy, and patient management. |
