[Considerations for the acute management of stroke during the dengue epidemic].

Stroke is the leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of mortality in our country. Argentina and the Region of the Americas are going through the worst epidemic outbreak of dengue on record with significant demand on the health system. Dengue could increase the risk of stroke and given the time-dependent nature of the management of this disease to reduce morbidity and mortality and the potential considerations to be taken into account in patients with dengue, we present a focused review of the literature with points of uncertainty and aspects to be considered in the stroke code considering the clinical characteristics and high demand of the health system caused by the dengue fever. A call is also made to generate evidence on the management of stroke in patients with dengue.
