ABSTRACT

Dengue infections show a rise with the increasing environmental humidity. Clinical manifestations are variable, and they are classified according to alarm signs, highlighting gastrointestinal manifestations like acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC). We describe two cases with reinfection and another with primary infection; we emphasize that gastrointestinal manifestations are most common in reinfection (with warning signs), that in those with classic manifestations (without warning signs) by primary infection. We suggest that, in abdominal pain, AAC should be ruled out by ultrasonography and consider the background of previous infection by different serotypes.
