Bernard-soulier syndrome and dengue fever: a rare association-case report

ABSTRACT

A 32-years-old pregnant woman who was a diagnosed case of Bernard Soulier Syndrome; which is a rare hereditary disorder of quafitative and quantitative platelet defect with tendency to bleed spontaneously, developed dengue fever which resulted in marked thrombocytopenia. She was continuously monitored and managed conservatively. Luckily, she made an uneventful recovery. But this may not be the case always, and constant vigilance is required while treating patients of congenital disorders of platelet function with acquired thrombocytopenia
