Dengue infection is highly endemic in many tropical countries including Malaysia. However,
neurological complications arising from dengue infection is not common; Gullain–Barre syndrome
(GBS) is one of these infrequent complications. In this paper, we have reported a case in which a
39-year-old woman presented with a neurological complication of dengue infection without typical
symptoms and signs of dengue fever. She had a history of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) followed by an
upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) weeks prior to her presentation rendering GBS secondary to
the post viral URTI and AGE as the most likely diagnosis. Presence of thrombocytopenia was the only
clue for dengue in this case.
