Antiplatelet transfusion in dengue haemorrhagic fever during pregnancy: A case report.

ABSTRACT

Dengue, an important mosquito-borne flavivirus infection, is endemic in South-East Asia. We report here on a pregnant patient with an unusual presentation of dengue haemorrhagic fever. After diagnosis of dengue haemorrhagic fever, the patient was given platelets and antiplatelet transfusion was occurred. Labor was delayed by conservative, symptomatic and supportive management. The condition of the patient improved and she gave birth to a healthy baby. The history, investigation, diagnosis and treatment of the patient are discussed.
