Dengue is the most common and widespread arthropod borne arboviral infection in the world today. Recent observations indicate that the clinical profile of dengue fever is changing with neurological manifestations being reported more frequently. A patient with dengue fever presented to us with symptoms suggestive of acute flaccid paralysis, and on subsequent investigation he was diagnosed as a case of hypokalaemic quadriparesis. Clinicians in the endemic area should be aware of such association of acute pure motor reversible quadriparesis with dengue fever.
登革热是当今世界上最常见且分布最广泛的节肢动物传播的虫媒病毒感染。最近的观察表明,登革热的临床特征正在发生变化,神经学表现的报告更为频繁。一名登革热患者前来就诊,出现了提示急性弛缓性麻痹的症状,后续检查诊断为低钾性四肢瘫。流行地区的临床医生应注意急性单纯性运动可逆性四肢瘫与登革热的这种关联。
