Abstract
AbstractDengue virus is an arbovirus transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. Many unusual clinical features are being reported in dengue. Dengue complicated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal condition. Here, we report an 18-year-old otherwise healthy female with dengue fever complicated with HLH. The diagnosis was made by fulfilling the clinical and laboratory criteria of HLH. She was managed successfully with a methylprednisolone pulse regimen. Our case highlights the importance of early recognition of complications and prompt treatment for a better outcome.
