We describe a case of a 38 year-old Sri Lankan female who was referred to the surgeon on call with a picture of acute abdomen. She presented with a three-day history of fever, headache, abdominal pain and diarrhoea; however, the physical examination was not consistent with acute abdomen. Her platelet count was 22 ×10(9)/L. A diagnosis of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) was made and dengue serology was positive. Dengue epidemics have been associated with a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms and signs, including acute abdomen. Acute abdomen in patients with DHF makes the diagnosis and management challenging.
我们描述了一例38岁的斯里兰卡女性病例,该患者因急腹症症状被转诊给值班外科医生。她有发热、头痛、腹痛和腹泻的三天病史;然而,体格检查结果与急腹症不符。她的血小板计数为22×10⁹/L。诊断为登革出血热(DHF),登革热血清学检查呈阳性。登革热流行与多种胃肠道症状和体征有关,包括急腹症。DHF患者出现急腹症会使诊断和治疗具有挑战性。
