Abstract
Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus (DENV) and affects over 390 million people yearly. It is prevalent in tropical areas, and warning signs have been established to easily identify patients who need further medical attention. In this article, we report the case of an 18–year–old female patient in Lima, Peru, during a dengue outbreak, presenting with abdominal pain, fever, and gingival bleeding. She tested positive for the NS1 antigen and was also diagnosed with mild acute pancreatitis. It is important to note that DENV infection may lead to acute pancreatitis during outbreaks, which could be underdiagnosed due to symptoms similar to dengue fever.
