| description | Concurrent bacteremia in patients with dengue fever is rarely reported. Two and a half-year-old female child with fever, cough
and cold for six days presented to Emergency Room (ER) with tachypnea, tachycardia and hepatomegaly. Investigations revealed
dengue fever. Respiratory symptoms probed us to investigate the case further. High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT)
thorax showed moderate pleural effusion with collapse consolidation of left lung and a thin walled cavity with septations and fluid
in left upper lobe. Child was treated with injection meropenem and vancomycin successfully. |
