Post - dengue elevation of serum transaminase until returning to normal limit:
long term follow-up. Case Study Case Rep. 2017; 7(4): 83 - 87.
ABSTRACT
Dengue is a common problem in tropical medicine. This
infection can manifest as acute febrile illness and might result in hemorrhagic
complication. Long term complication due to dengue is rarely mentioned. The hepatic
dysfunction due to dengue is observable and the problem can last for a long
term. In this case report, the authors report on an interesting case of post
dengue elevation of serum transaminase. The long term follow-up of the case until
returning to normal limit was done. The period that requires for returning to
normal is 8 months. The elevation of serum transaminase enzymes after acute
dengue infection is possible and it can spontaneous resolve without any
requirement for specific management. Nevertheless, the time required for
returning to normal is long. Based on our best knowledge, this is the first
world report on the closed follow-up of case with post dengue elevation of
serum transaminase.
Key words: Dengue,
