DHF is endemic in Indonesia, with incidence of 9.72/100,000 population and CFR of 2.5%. Acute pancreatitis is a rare complication in DHF, usually without hyperglycemia. We report here 1 patient of DHF grade II with complication of acute pancreatitis, and hyperglycemia which occured as a result of pancreatitis. A 24 years old female was referred from Santa Jusuf Hospital, with 5 days of fever and hematemesis. On physical examination we found slight fever and hematoma on her left leg. Laboratory examination revealed Hb 13.4 g%, WBC 8,500/mm3, Ht 42%, platelets 22,500/mm3, amylase 317 U/l, lipase 1,198 U/l and blood glucose 397 mg%. CT scan result of pancreas was consistent with acute pancreatitis. Diagnosis of dengue infection was made after the finding of positive IgM and IgG for dengue virus. After 18 days clinical symptoms and signs and laboratory results returned to normal.

Spontaneous rupture of the spleen has been described in cases of hematologic, neoplasic and infectious diseases, or resulting from pancreatitis. We report a rare case of spontaneous splenic rupture, and favorable evolution after splenectomy, in a patient with dengue fever, which occurred during the last outbreak of dengue fever in Brazil.

Dengue fever is an acute febrile viral disease, which frequently presents with high fever, headache, bone pain and skin rash. Acute pancreatitis and seizure are rare manifestations of dengue virus infection. A 66-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus presented with epigastralgia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Acute pancreatitis, abnormal liver function and thrombocytopenia were diagnosed at a local hospital. After persistent fever, thrombocytopenia and seizure developed she was transferred to our medical center. Dengue virus infection was confirmed by serology study and dengue hemorrhagic fever grade II was diagnosed. No further neurological symptoms occurred and pancreatitis improved gradually after supportive care. She recovered and had no sequelae at 1 year follow-up. Acute pancreatitis and seizure may be manifestations of dengue virus infection, especially in patients with delayed diagnosis, prolonged fever and thrombocytopenia.

We report a 40 year old woman admitted with an acute abdomen. Investigations revealed pancreatitis, bilateral pleural effusion, renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and scrub IgM ELISA and dengue NS1 positivity. She improved with azithromycin and appropriate pain and fluid management. She also developed central venous catheter-related MRSA sepsis that was managed in the hospital.

During the summer of 2012, dengue fever epidemic has emerged in Kolkata and spread throughout West Bengal. During the epidemic period, wide spectrum of atypical presentations of dengue fever has been observed. Here, in this study, the spectrum of dengue fever was analysed in 300 patients who were found to have dengue serology positive (NS1, IgM, IgG). The study was done in the department of medicine, RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata. The patients were classified according to age, gender, duration of symptoms on admission, associated comorbidities and coinfections, complications that developed after admission, the final outcome and duration till death after symptoms developed. The dengue fever cases started to appear from April but it attained its peak during August-September this year. All ages were affected but the brunt was borne maximally by those between 15 and 40 years. Females were more affected than males. It may be concluded from the study that 30% had no complications while 70% cases developed complications, 4% cases had underlying comorbidities and coinfections, 68% developed thrombocytopenia and other haemorrhagic features, 55% serositis, 25% acalculous cholecystitis, 20% myocarditis, 15% pancreatitis, 5% had central nervous system involvement, 0.66% rhabdomyolysis and myositis, 0.33% secondary vasculitis and death occurred in 3% cases. More number of patients were having multiple and atypical complications requiring hospitalisation. Mortality was more common in patients with associated comorbidities and coinfection. Awareness, early treatment with aggressive fluid replacement therapy with close monitoring, supportive management andpatient education showed promising results.

Dengue fever may present with atypical manifestations. Here we report a 47 year-old male presenting with fever and sore throat for 2 days, followed by epigastric pain and tarry stool for 4 days. The esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed multiple ulcers with a nodular margin in the duodenal bulb and second portion of the duodenum. A MRI of the abdomen revealed hemorrhagic pancreatitis, with a large intramural hematoma in the second portion of duodenum. The final diagnosis was dengue hemorrhagic fever, grade II, complicated with hemorrhagic pancreatitis and an intramural hematoma of the duodenal wall. Physicians should be aware of the atypical abdominal presentations of dengue fever.

Dengue is an arthropod borne viral infection endemic in tropical and subtropical continent. Severe dengue is life threatening. Various atypical presentations of dengue have been documented. But we present a rare and fatal complication of severe dengue in form of acute pancreatitis. A 27-year-old male had presented with severe dengue in decompensated shock and with pain in abdomen due to pancreatitis. The pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis in dengue is not clearly understood, but various mechanisms are postulated. The awareness and timely recognition of this complication is very important for proper management.

Dengue infection is endemic in India with frequent epidemics of Dengue Fever/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. The outbreaks vary in the commonest serotype in circulation during that period, predominant laboratory findings and clinical manifestations. This study was carried during the outbreak of dengue in Delhi in 2009. Clinical assessment and laboratory investigations were performed and severity of the disease with clinical, haematological parameters and serotypes were correlated. Of 107 patients included in the study, 64 (59.8%) were positive by ELISA. These 64 patients were tested by RT-PCR and 7 were found to be positive. DEN-2 and DEN-4 serotypes were isolated. There was a decreasing trend in mean age of patients with severity of infection. The outbreak was milder as compared to earlier ones in regards of number of cases presenting with clinical manifestations of bleeding. A considerable number of patients presented with unusual findings, namely, ascites, pleural effusion, myocarditis, cholecystitis and pancreatitis. There was no statistically significant difference either in platelet count between various groups or comparison of bleeding with severity of thrombocytopenia. This study provides an insight into the clinico-laboratory findings of the outbreak of dengue in 2009.

We report a case of expanded dengue syndrome, where two different presentations occurred subsequently. A patient of dengue haemorrhagic fever initially was admitted with acute pancreatitis, complicated with left pancreatic effusion, but later on, during resolution of pancreatitis and effusion, developed spontaneous right haemothorax. Such presentations, besides being rare themselves, have not been reported to occur subsequently, in the same patient, during the same disease process.

We report a case of expanded dengue syndrome, where three uncommon presentations occurred concomitantly. A patient with dengue haemorrhagic fever presented initially with acute acalculous cholecystitis along with acute pancreatitis, but later on, during resolution of pancreatitis and cholecystitis, developed pancytopenia, most likely due to haemophagocytic syndrome. Such presentations, besides being rare themselves, have not been reported to occur concomitantly, in the same patient, during the same disease process.
