Beyond thrombocytopaenia, haemorrhage and shock: the expanded dengue syndrome. Pathog Glob Health. 2018 Dec 03;:1-11 Authors: Rajapakse S, Wattegama M, Weeratunga P, Sigera PC, Fernando SD Abstract Dengue infection classically presents with fever, thrombocytopaenia, and varying degrees of plasma leakage, giving rise to shock. However, a myriad of other manifestations, involving the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, the liver, the kidneys, the gut and the haematological system have been reported in dengue. This review summarizes these varied presentations. PMID: 30507366 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
