Dengue infection is known to present a spectrum of systemic complications ranging from general to atypical and self-limiting to fatal complications. It is caused by arvovirus and common in tropical and sub-tropical regions. We report a case of a 14-year-old, student who developed acute encephalitis followed by gastric hemorrhage. He was put on mechanical ventilation and managed conservatively. Unfortunately patient could not be saved despite our best effort.
