[A case of polyradiculoneuritis associated with dengue in a patient native to French Guiana].

Abstract

An acute polyradiculoneuritis in a woman native of French Guiana has been observed with serologic conversion against flaviviruses by inhibition of hemagglutination test. Dengue's diagnostic was been kept in spite of lack of causal virus isolation and non-typical clinical symptoms. Association dengue-polyradiculoneuritis appears quite uncommon and is worthy of note, in view of frequency of infection by Flaviviruses.
