DENV-1 and DENV-2 are associated with neurological manifestation of dengue infection, which is different from the existing literature, where DENV-2 and DENV-3 are reported. The detection of DENV serotype will help in predicting and best management of neurological complication. The serotype 2 of dengue virus is more commonly associated with dengue-associated hypokalemic paralysis than other neurological complication (p < 0.05). There is no significant association of serotypes with outcome or mortality.
