Dengue is an acute mosquito borne viral infection caused by one of the four distinct serotype of dengue viruses (type 1-4), belonging to flavivirus family. Dengue fever, an arboviral infection is known to cause various neurological complications. Commonly reported neurological manifestations associated with dengue infection are encephalopathy, myelopathy, stroke, Guillain-Barre syndrome and hypokalemic paralysis. Brachial amyotrophy associated with dengue infection were not described previously. Here, we describe three patients presenting with brachial neuritis associated with dengue infection. Dengue infection should be considered in the etiological list of brachial neuritis in dengue endemic areas, especially if preceded by history of febrile illness compatible with dengue illness.
登革热是一种由四种不同血清型（1 - 4型）登革病毒之一引起的急性蚊媒病毒感染，这些病毒属于黄病毒科。登革热作为一种虫媒病毒感染，已知会引发各种神经并发症。与登革热感染相关的常见神经表现有脑病、脊髓病、中风、吉兰 - 巴雷综合征和低钾性麻痹。此前未描述过与登革热感染相关的臂丛肌萎缩。在此，我们描述了三例出现与登革热感染相关的臂丛神经炎的患者。在登革热流行地区，臂丛神经炎的病因清单中应考虑登革热感染，特别是在有与登革热疾病相符的发热病史之前发生的情况下。
