Expanded dengue syndrome: three concomitant uncommon presentations in the same patient.

Abstract:

: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.
