Dengue is considered one of the most common mosquito borne illnesses in the world. Although its clinical course is usually uneventful, complications have rarely been known to arise. These include neurological manifestations such as neuropathies.
We report a middle aged patient from urban Sri Lanka who developed diaphragmatic paralysis secondary to phrenic neuropathy a month after recovering from dengue fever. He was managed conservatively and made a full recovery subsequently.
Isolated phrenic nerve palsy causing diaphragmatic paralysis should be considered a recognized complication of Dengue fever. A patient usually gains full recovery with conservative management.
登革热被认为是世界上最常见的由蚊子传播的疾病之一。虽然其临床过程通常不严重，但也有罕见的并发症发生。这些并发症包括神经病变等神经系统表现。
我们报告了一位来自斯里兰卡城市的中年患者，他在登革热痊愈一个月后，因膈神经病变而发生膈肌瘫痪。他接受了保守治疗，随后完全康复。
孤立性膈神经麻痹导致的膈肌瘫痪应被视为登革热的一种公认并发症。患者通常通过保守治疗获得完全康复。
