Abstract

In developing tropical countries, dengue infection is a serious vector-borne endemic disease. Neurological involvement in dengue fever can lead to a plethora of manifestations. Bell’s palsy is an idiopathic inflammatory condition of the 7th cranial nerve. The association of Bell’s palsy in dengue fever is scarcely reported in literature. In this case report, we tried to explore the diverse possibilities of acute-onset unilateral facial weakness in a 16-year-old male with a background of acute febrile illness with thrombocytopenia and transaminitis.
