Abstract
Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune inflammatory polyneuropathy, which usually develops following infectious diseases. It is a known complication of dengue fever, in particular; however, GBS following combined Dengue and Chikungunya infection is extremely rare. We hereby report a patient with combined Dengue and Chikungunya fever, without associated thrombocytopenia. The main concern in this case was the sudden development of GBS, which was responsive to double immunoglobulin therapy and required a percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PCT) to facilitate weaning from ventilation.
