Late Onset Mania in Dengue Fever

Abstract

Here, we are reporting a case of late onset mania in a 61 year old male secondary to dengue fever. The past and family history of the mood disorder was absent in the patient. Episode of mania had a temporal correlation with the dengue fever. Psychiatric co-morbidities are mentioned in the literature following dengue fever but the literature on the mania following dengue is sparse. The late onset mania in dengue fever is unreported in the literature.
