摘要：

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the association of Chikungunya virus and sudden sensorineural. hearing loss. In the case report described we had a case which developed sudden unilateral sensorineural hearing toss following chikungunya fever. A 15-year-old female presented to us with the complains of unilateral sudden onset of hearing toss following an episode of fever, arthralgia and rashes 1 month ago. At the time of these symptoms there were many cases of chikungunya fever in the city, three being in her locality. Clinically Chikungunya fever was suspected and a positive serological. test further confirmed our diagnosis. The hearing toss could thus be attributed to Chikungunya virus. Viruses have always been implicated in causing sudden sensorineural hearing toss but Chikungunya virus as a cause has not been documented earlier making this case report a unique one.
