Abstract

We report a 40 year old woman admitted with an acute abdomen. Investigations revealed pancreatitis, bilateral pleural effusion, renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and scrub IgM ELISA and dengue NS1 positivity. She improved with azithromycin and appropriate pain and fluid management. She also developed central venous catheter-related MRSA sepsis that was managed in the hospital.
