We present a case of a 78-year-old female who developed persistent neurological complications following a concurrent dengue and chikungunya viral infection. The patient experienced progressive weakness and ambulatory difficulties, culminating in left foot drop. This case highlights the potential long-term neurological sequelae of these tropical viral infections and emphasizes the importance of considering a post-viral vasculitis-like presentation in patients with delayed neurological symptoms.
我们报告了一例78岁女性患者,她在同时感染登革热和基孔肯雅病毒后出现了持续性神经并发症。患者经历了渐进性无力和行走困难,最终导致左脚下垂。该病例突出了这些热带病毒感染潜在的长期神经后遗症,并强调了对于有延迟神经症状的患者考虑病毒后血管炎样表现的重要性。
