A RARE CASE REPORT OF ACALCULOUS CHOLECYSTITIS IN A DENGUE ATTACKED PREGNANT WOMAN
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Dengue viral infections present a significant risk during pregnancy to both mother and fetus. A young woman at 13 weeks’ gestation presented with fever and abdominal pain. Over the course of 5 days, she developed nausea, petechiae, severe thrombocytopenia, and acalculous cholecystitis. After a serologic diagnosis of acute infection with Dengue virus, she was provided supportive care. An uncomplicated pregnancy led to delivery of a healthy infant at 40 weeks gestation. Pregnancies complicated by dengue infection require close monitoring for potential maternal and fetal complications.
