LYMPHEDEMA IN DENGUE FEVER – AN UNREPORTED CASE
Keywords:
Dengue fever, lymphedema
Abstract
Dengue fever is a neglected tropical disease, which is rearing its ugly head in increasing numbers of both morbidities and mortalities in Malaysia. As of August 18, 2015, a total of 76819 dengue cases and 212 dengue deaths have been reported for 2015 according to Malaysian health officials [1]. Atypical presentations of dengue fever are also on the rise, which is underreported or unrecognized due to lack of awareness [2,3,4]. Lymphedema complicating dengue fever has not been reported in any literature. We detail this case to highlight the varied manifestations of dengue fever.
