Out of 100 patients, Usg findings were,64% had gall bladder wall thickening,43% had ascites,32% had splenomegaly and 15% had Hepatomegaly. In areas where DF is epidemic, DF should be strongly considered in a febrile patient with gall bladder wall thickening, ascites, splenomegaly and/or Hepatomegaly.
