Abstract
We describe a patient with bone marrow hemophagocytosis who had classic dengue fever associated with nasal bleeding and pancytopenia. The patient recovered with appropriate supportive care. A literature search shows fewer than 20 case reports of dengue related hemophagocytosis in the English literature. Our patient is an interesting case of dengue related hemophagocytic syndrome and adds an additional case to the literature. Clinicians should consider that the occurrence of hemophagocytosis in the appropriate geographical area could be due to dengue virus infection and present with pancytopenia.
