Abstract
A 32-year-old female with advanced human immunodeficiency virus infection presented to an Australian hospital with subacute, worsening symptoms of encephalitis. Metagenomic sequencing and Dengue NS3 antigen staining of brain tissue confirmed active dengue virus (DENV) encephalitis. The most recent possible DENV exposure was months prior in West Africa, indicating chronicity.
