Sri Lanka is hyperendemic for dengue viral infection. Dengue has a wide spectrum of neurological manifestations including previously reported Sri Lankan cases with a 6th nerve palsy and a cerebellar syndrome from a co-infection with dengue and Epstein-Barr virus. This series describes a spontaneously resolving cerebellar syndrome following a dengue viral infection. Dengue is potentially an important cause of cerebellar syndromes in countries hyperendemic for the disease; patients need further studies to identify the responsible serotypes.
斯里兰卡是登革病毒感染的高度流行地区。登革热有广泛的神经学表现,包括先前报道的斯里兰卡病例,其中有第六脑神经麻痹以及因登革热与爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒共同感染导致的小脑综合征。本系列报道了一例登革病毒感染后自发缓解的小脑综合征。在登革热高度流行的国家,登革热可能是小脑综合征的一个重要病因;需要进一步研究以确定相关血清型。
