Early Guillain–Barré Syndrome associated with acute dengue fever

Abstract Various forms of neurological manifestations are reported in dengue fever. We describe here three cases of concomitant Guillain–Barre syndrome and dengue virus (DENV) infection during the largest DENV-1 outbreak in New Caledonia. Research of viral RNA was positive in both blood and CSF samples. All patients were treated with intravenous polyvalent immunoglobulins and recovered without sequelae within one week.
