Dengue is an important arboviral disease in the tropics and subtropics. Although mild to moderate elevation of liver transaminases is a common phenomenon, dengue infection leading to hepatic failure is a rare complication in adults. We present a case of dengue fever in a young adult, leading to the rare complication of acute liver failure, without dengue shock syndrome. We tried evidence-based management with therapeutic plasma exchange, which led to a significant improvement in liver function.
登革热是热带和亚热带地区一种重要的虫媒病毒病。虽然肝转氨酶轻度至中度升高是常见现象,但登革热感染导致肝衰竭在成人中是一种罕见的并发症。我们报告一例年轻成人登革热病例,该病例导致了罕见的急性肝衰竭并发症,且无登革热休克综合征。我们尝试采用基于证据的治疗性血浆置换进行管理,这使肝功能得到了显著改善。
