Abstract: Worldwide, dengue is the most frequent trigger for viral haemorrhagicfever. Although it is chronic in many tropical nations, instances fromnon-endemic areas have also been documented on a regular basis inrecent years. Nonetheless, the World Health Organization’s revisedclassification of dengue splits it into three groups: severe dengue,dengue with warning signals, and dengue without warning signs.Significant dengue is defined as those who have a significant vascularleak, hypotension, severe bleeding, or severe organ involvement.Hepatitis, the influenza virus, respiratory infections, liver failure, andHemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) linked to dengue feverhave all been documented; most of these cases involved children, witha small number of adult case reports. Fatal results including a 50%mortality rate have been documented in the child’s research. Here wehave presented a case of a 17-year-old teenager with dengue fever andco-morbidities of hepatitis, influenza, lung diseases, and HLH.
