A Rare Case of Expanded Dengue Syndrome with Hypokalemic Paralysis: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread in all regions of WHO in recent years. The World Health Organization estimates the number of infections across the globe to be 50 million per year. Dengue fever has mostly an uncomplicated course of illness; but few develop complications and unusual manifestations. The World Health Organization (WHO) has coined the term expanded dengue to describe cases which do not fall into either dengue shock syndrome or dengue hemorrhagic fever. We report a case of hypokalemic paralysis with dengue fever.
