| Popis: | Background: Dengue and severe dengue have various hemorrhagic manifestations ranging from mild presentations such as petechiae, bleeding from injection sites, ecchymosis, and gum bleeding to severe presentations like major mucosal bleeding such as hematemesis, melena, menorrhagia, and concealed internal bleeding. Common causes of anemia in dengue are due to blood loss (secondary to thrombocytopenia and/or coagulopathy), transient suppression of the bone marrow, and rarely, hemolytic anemia. Clinical Description: We describe a 5-year-old boy who presented to us in the critical phase of severe dengue with features of capillary leakage and cola-colored urine. Salient investigation reports were anemia, thrombocytopenia, normal reticulocyte count, absence of coagulopathy, indirect hyperbilirubinemia, deranged transaminase, highly elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and low haptoglobin levels, and hemoglobinuria, suggestive of acute intravascular hemolysis (AIVH). Autoimmune and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, malaria, ingestion of dyes, snake bite, Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and incompatible blood transfusions were excluded. Thus, the final diagnosis was severe dengue with hemolytic anemia and AIVH. Management: Oxygen delivery by the Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula, strict input/output charting, appropriate fluid therapy, and diuretic infusion were the mainstays of management in an intensive setting. The aim was to maintain ventilation, perfusion, balance hydration, achieve optimal urine output and prevent fluid overload. Conclusion: Clinicians should consider Dengue as a possible cause for AIVH in children with severe dengue and cola-colored urine. |
