Abstract

Dengue fever is an important arboviral disease that significantly impacts the disease burden among populations residing in tropical regions. Dengue infection is known to have a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, which range from fatal, life-threatening shock, encephalitis, and myocarditis to asymptomatic illness. Mild hepatic dysfunction with deranged hepatic laboratory parameters is a known entity with dengue fever. However, dengue presenting as acute liver failure associated with hepatic encephalopathy without shock or signs of plasma leakage is rare. Therefore, we are reporting the case of a young male with dengue fever presented as acute liver failure from a tertiary care center in central India to spread awareness among healthcare professionals worldwide regarding unusual presentations of dengue fever and consideration of dengue fever as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with acute liver failure, especially in endemic regions.
