“…The first patient was moderately obese; however, this anecdotal case cannot determine the effect of obesity on dengue severity. Regarding this issue, published studies are scarce and the literature focused on the paediatric population, but obesity was found to be a major risk factor for acute kidney injury in Thai children with DHF, as well as a risk for unusual presentations or shock [26,27].…”

The authors report two cases of complicated dengue viral infection with acute myocarditis involving young male adults, of which one was fatal. The first case presented with typical signs of myocardial disease: chest pain and diaphoresis with myocardial depression in the electrocardiograph. The second case deteriorated rapidly and demised within the first day of admission. Histology of the heart muscles showed multiple small foci of myocyte necrosis surrounded by lymphocytes, in keeping with viral myocarditis. Both cases fulfilled the World Health Organization (WHO) diagnosis of probable dengue: the first case had positive dengue serology, both IgM and IgG at day six of illness, and the second case was polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive for dengue and identified as serotype 2. Despite the severe outcome, both cases did not completely fulfil the criteria for dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF). Although severe cardiac impairment is not commonly reported in dengue infection, it can be life threatening.

“…The probability of developing AKI in dengue infection varies from 0.9% to 13.3% according to the diagnostic criteria adopted and the severity of the dengue infection—that is, dengue fever (DF), dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS) 3–6. The reported incidence of AKI is 0.9%3 and 3.3%4 in DHF/DSS, while the incidence of AKI has been reported to be 10.8%5 and 13.3%6 in all types of dengue infection, irrespective of severity. The development of AKI has a significant impact on the outcome of patients with dengue infection, with mortality estimated at 11.3–64% and a longer hospital stay 3 4 6.…”

“…5,7 There have only been a few reported case series of concurrent bacteraemia and dengue infection. Bacteraemia in dengue may occur with common exposure 8,9 in association with severe organ impairment 10 or severe dengue resulting in death. [11][12][13] Additionally, nosocomial infection may result from prolonged hospitalization from severe dengue and its complications.…”
