Chikungunya fever is a disease caused by a virus from the same family as dengue and Zika. It is endemic in several parts of the world and has recently spread to Latin America. We report the case of a patient, aged 58 years, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who in 2013 developed an acute bilateral third cranial nerve palsy sparing the pupil. After extensive investigation, it was diagnosed as caused by chikungunya infection. The patient was treated with pulse therapy and after 5 months of the onset of the condition, the patient showed improvement.
基孔肯雅热是一种由与登革热和寨卡病毒同属一个家族的病毒引起的疾病。它在世界上的几个地区流行，最近已传播到拉丁美洲。我们报告了一例来自巴西里约热内卢的58岁患者的病例，该患者于2013年出现急性双侧动眼神经麻痹，但瞳孔未受影响。经过广泛检查，诊断为由基孔肯雅病毒感染所致。患者接受了脉冲治疗，在发病5个月后病情有所改善。
