ABSTRACT
Dengue fever (DF) is endemic throughout tropical and subtropical regions; however, it is not endemic in Korea. Imported infectious diseases should be suspected when encountering returned travelers with non-specific symptoms such as fever, rash, and headache. Persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, hemorrhagic tendency, hepatic enzyme abnormalities, and proteinuria are risk factors for the development of severe DF in a patient with DF. Severe hyperglycemia is also known to be related to poor prognosis in acute illness, and with certain underlying diseases that present with hyperglycemia, such as diabetes, it is related to the progression of severe DF. We report a DF case with severe hyperglycemia in an adolescent returning from India. Pediatric DF cases reported in Korea were also reviewed.
