Isolated facial palsy after Chikungunya infection: A novel differential diagnosis

基孔肯雅病毒感染后孤立性面瘫:一种新的鉴别诊断

阅读:1

Abstract

A significant raise in the reports of neurological manifestations due to Chikungunya virus has been described worldwide. Here, we describe a case report of a previously healthy young adult who developed isolated left facial palsy after a confirmed Chikungunya virus infection in the Colombian tropics. We suggest considering this virus as a differential diagnosis for facial palsy in patients with confirmed Chikungunya virus infection who live in endemic regions or report a history of recent travel to these regions.
