We report a case of vertically transmitted chikungunya infection in heterozygous twin neonates presenting as seizures, encephalopathy, midfacial hyperpigmentation, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. This could be considered as a rare cause of neonatal seizure and identification would help in appropriate management.
我们报告了一例垂直传播的基孔肯雅热感染病例,该病例发生在一对杂合子双胞胎新生儿中,表现为癫痫发作、脑病、面部中部色素沉着、贫血和血小板减少。这可被视为新生儿癫痫发作的罕见原因,明确诊断有助于进行适当的治疗。
