ABSTRACT

Background: The epidemic of dengue is currently a problem in many countries which compels the systems of sanitary attendance to be in constant surveillance. Case presentation: An 11 year old female white patient came to the casualty department complaining of high fever, headache and general malaise. Her follow up called the attention for she did not improve her physical state, there was a discrete icteric dye with colored urines and the tip of the spleen was palpable. Conclusion: It is important to make a differential diagnosis, it is an acute febrile syndrome though it has a clinical epidemiological diagnosis of dengue, especially with malaria embodying thick blood smear when ordering urgent laboratory tests.
