Abstract

A 44-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with dengue fever. She developed a haematoma in the right arm at the site of a previous arterial line insertion. Due to coexisting thrombocytopenia, the bleeding was severe enough to cause compartment syndrome. An emergency fasciotomy was performed and her limb salvaged. The case illustrates one important potential complication of this common infectious disease.

摘要

一名44岁女性因登革热入住我院。她在先前动脉置管部位的右臂出现了血肿。由于同时存在血小板减少症，出血严重到足以导致骨筋膜室综合征。遂进行了紧急筋膜切开术，保住了她的肢体。该病例说明了这种常见传染病的一种重要潜在并发症。
