Abstract

Brachial plexopathy is an uncommon neurologic disease which is associated with many conditions including infectious and non-infectious conditions. Many viral infections have been reported to be associated with brachial plexopathy. To the best of our knowledge, dengue infection-associated brachial plexopathy has never been reported in the literature. We report here a case of dengue infection complicated by bilateral brachial plexopathy, and also review all reported cases of viral infectionassociated brachial plexopathy in the English literature.
