    A 13-year-old male patient presented with fever, deterioration of consciousness, weakness, restlessness, vomiting, and dyspnea. These symptoms rule in for Japanese encephalitis as males under 15 are at high risk, while headache, seizures, movement disorders, and neck stiffness were absent. Meanwhile, dengue hemorrhagic fever was less likely due to the presence of deterioration of consciousness, sunken eyeballs, and absence of severe headache, eye pain, and positive dengue test.
