Abstract

This is a case of a 43-year-old female physician, who was admitted to the hospital due to clinical suspected dengue with skin hemorrhage (group 2). During her hospital evolution, she presented thrombocytopenia, hematocrit increase and hepatomegaly detected at physical examination and confirmed by ultrasonography, besides swelling of the gallbladder walls, with absence of jaundice. Because of her symptoms persistence after discharge and ambulatorily, hepatomegaly and increase of hepatic enzymes were confirmed and they took more than a month to get normal. The patient evolved satisfactorily. In epidemic conditions, it is suggested to carry out a study of hepatic enzymes and ultrasonography in patients with symptoms and signs suggestive of hepatic damage by dengue.
