ABSTRACT

Introduction: Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by a flavi virus which is transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Commonly produces fever accompanied by muscle and joint pains and head ache. During pregnancy is poorly described and can range from asymptomatic to severe forms with high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
Case Report: We report the case of A 6 -day-old newborn with fever. The patient has the maternal history of a clinically suspected dengue fever in the immediate postpartum period. Complementary studies in the newborn confirm the diagnosis of dengue fever. The outcome was favorable and the patient was discharged without complications.
Conclusion: Neonatal dengue is a rare disease. The maternal-fetal transmission may occur at any stage of pregnancy so the virus infection should be considered in endemic areas in the presence of a suggestive symptoms like fever, irritability and thrombocytopenia
