A febrile, Non Thrombocytopenic Dengue: A Rare Presentation.

Abstract

Dengue infection is a mosquito (Aedes aegypti) - borne viral infection of tropical region causing severe u like illness. According to WHO, fever and thrombocytopenia are important diagnostic features of dengue. We report a 21 year old case of dengue who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and yellowish discoloration of urine and eyes. She did not have any history of fever. She had normal blood counts including platelet count but had highly elevated liver enzymes. Afebrile and without thrombocytopenia dengue has been rarely reported in patients of dengue. Liver enzymes in dengue have also not been reported to be so highly elevated previously.
