Hypokalemic Quadriparesis Associated with Dengue: A Case Series
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Dengue is an important viral cause of febrile illness in tropical and subtropical regions. Manifestations may range from an asymptomatic infection to life threatening hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome. Neurological presentations of this disease are rare. Here, we are presenting a case series of three confirmed cases of dengue fever with hypokalemic paralysis presenting as acute pure motor reversible quadriparesis. A clinician should keep dengue virus associated hypokalemic paralysis in mind while dealing with a case of fever with quadriparesis.
