Protean Neurological Manifestations in Chikungunya. J Assoc Physicians India. 2018 Apr;66(4):79-80 Authors: Chauhan A, Rehani V, Kumar P, Sasmal G, Goyal P Abstract Unplanned urbanization and secondary migration has caused increased spurt in arboviral diseases especially Dengue and Chikungunya. With this exponential rise in these illness, now we are beginning to notice uncommon presentations of these common illnesses. Here we present two interesting cases: one of paraparesis and another of quadriparesis with respiratory involvement secondary to Chikungunya, although the mechanism in one is hypokalemia and the other is GBS secondary to Chikungunya. Just the magnitude of cases presenting in metros and major cities of our country warrant sensitizing the physicians about these uncommon manifestations.. PMID: 30347964 [PubMed - in process]
