Abstract: Case 2: A 54-year-old woman, who has already reached menopause, was admitted with a fever and rash for five days after returning from Varanasi in India in November 2023.She has taken sertraline for depression, and Fexofenadine Hydrochloride for hayfever.She also had mosquito bites in Varanasi in India.Her serum PCR was positive for NS1.Although she had no bleeding tendency, FP with a struck marriage ring due to swelling of her fingers was found on the second day of admission.These were resolved on the 8th day of admission.Discussion: A menorrhagia as the first clinical presentation was found in one out of 30 female cases(1).Palpebral edema was found in 20.1% of Dengue fever(2).However, FP was a rare manifestation among adults that was observed commonly in 63% of children(3).FP was associated significantly with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) (p < 0.05) (4).FP may be a simple diagnostic cue of DF/DHF among adult returning travelers from pandemic areas that can be extended due to the increasing number of overseas travelers after the COVID-19 era, and global warming.1.
