“…In other reported cases and case series of awake MH, the triggers were sports activity, exercise, fever, and influenza A. As there were no other apparent triggering factors for MH, the patient was diagnosed as a case of awake or non-anesthetic MH triggered by dengue fever [26]. There is also growing evidence of a link between MH susceptibility and a history of exertional heat illness.…”

As a result of the widespread prevalence of anesthetic usage, anesthesia-related complications are well studied, ranging from benign postoperative nausea and vomiting to potentially fatal complications, such as paralysis, malignant hyperthermia, and death. However, one intersection that still needs further analysis is the relationship between vector-borne illnesses (VBIs) and anesthetic complications. With the advent of climate change and global warming, what were previously endemic vectors have spread far beyond their typical regions, resulting in the spread of VBI. As the incidence of VBIs rapidly increases in the United States, operations for diagnostic testing, and thus the identification and treatments of these VBIs, have significantly diminished. A literature review was conducted to analyze case reports of patients with VBIs and anesthetic concerns with sources from PubMed and Google Scholar databases, and a wide range of complications were found.
