“…Studies have found 60% dengue patients to have ocular complications with subconjunctival hemorrhage being most common. Posterior segment involvement is reported too, with macular edema, vascular occlusion, vitreous hemorrhage, optic neuropathy, chorioretinitis, retinal hemorrhages and cotton wool spots (6). Our patient had both orbital cellulitis and choroidal hematoma with loss of vision that was opined to be irreversible by the ophthalmologists.…”

“…Rhabdomyolysis induced acute kidney injury (RAKI) is one such atypical manifestation of dengue infection which is rarely seen and a single biopsy proven case has been reported so far (4). Similarly intracranial and intraorbital bleeds in dengue infection are very unusual (5,6). Expanded dengue syndrome (EDS) cases are underreported and pose a serious challenge for the treating physician.…”

Dengue fever is endemic in the Indian subcontinent and can have myriad presentations. The term expanded dengue syndrome (EDS) is used for atypical manifestations in dengue fever. We present a rare case of EDS in a patient with secondary dengue infection who developed rhabdomyolysis induced acute kidney injury (RAKI) along with intracranial and intraorbital bleeds. Patient was successfully managed in our institute and was discharged in stable condition. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only reported case of simultaneous occurrence of these complications in a dengue patient. This case is being presented to make clinicians aware of the spectrum of dengue infection.

“…[4] Ophthalmic manifestations though rare and varied, range from subconjunctival hemorrhage to optic neuropathy with the posterior segment, particularly macular involvement, being the most common. In one study [5] , the most common common anterior segment findings were subconjunctival hemorrhage (45.8%), while the most common posterior chamber finding was retinal hemorrhages (87.5%). Though the pathogenesis of these changes is not yet known, their clinical presentation and behavior are indicative of an immunogenic etiology rather than infective [6] .…”

Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV), a flavivirus, spread by Aedes aegypti mosquito. Most people infected with dengue virus are asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms such as an uncomplicated fever. Severe dengue is defined as that associated with severe bleeding, severe organ dysfunction, or severe plasma leakage. Ophthalmic manifestations can involve both the anterior and posterior segment and are usually associated with a low platelet count. We report an ocular emergency of acute retrobulbar, intrabulbar hemorrhage, and globe rupture as a rare complication of a patient with dengue in the convalescent phase, with normal platelet counts.

“…Generally, there is complete resolution of ocular changes in dengue fever. 9 The other issues that still become a pitfall in dengue fever knowledge were about its vector and how it spreads. Dengue is one of the arboviruses which mean it needs an insect for some phase of their cycles to eventually infect the human host.…”
