Central nervous system (CNS) viral infections are critical causes of morbidity and mortality in children; however, comprehensive data on etiology is lacking in developing countries such as Indonesia. To study the etiology of CNS infections in a pediatric population, 50 children admitted to two hospitals in Bandung, West Java, during 2017-2018 were enrolled in a CNS infection study. Cerebrospinal fluid and serum specimens were tested using molecular, serological, and virus isolation platforms for a number of viral and bacteriological agents.

- A pediatric study conducted in Indonesia (2017-2018) explored dengue virus's involvement in central nervous system illnesses, particularly in children.
- The case presented involved a patient with both typical dengue symptoms and neurological issues, revealing the presence of dengue virus serotype 1 in their cerebrospinal fluid and serum.
- The findings suggest that this less common serotype can cause encephalitis, indicating a need for further awareness and research on its neurological impacts.
