Abstract

Background: Chikungunya is an infection caused by an RNA-virus and transmitted from primates to humans by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Usually, it causes fever, widespread exanthema, myalgia and severe diffuse joints pain but may present several complications, such as neurological manifestations. Case presentation: We describe a case of a 38-year-old man with diagnostic confirmation of chikungunya virus infection based on the clinical manifestations of the disease and positivity of the serological tests. He has evolved with peripheral mononeuropathy confirmed by clinical examination and electroneuromyography. Conclusion: Peripheral neuropathy may be a neurological complication of CHIKV infection and to the best of our knowledge this is the first Brazilian case of peripheral mononeuropathy secondary to CHIKV infection.

巴西首例继发于基孔肯雅病毒感染的外周神经病变病例

背景:基孔肯雅热是一种由rna病毒引起的感染，由埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊从灵长类动物传播给人类。通常，它会引起发烧、广泛的皮疹、肌痛和严重的弥漫性关节痛，但也可能出现一些并发症，如神经系统症状。病例介绍:我们描述了一例38岁男性病例，根据该病的临床表现和血清学检测阳性，确诊为基孔肯雅病毒感染。经临床检查和神经肌电图证实为外周单神经病变。结论:周围神经病变可能是CHIKV感染的神经系统并发症，据我们所知，这是巴西第一例继发于CHIKV感染的周围神经病变。
