ABSTRACT
Dengue infection is a disease caused by dengue virus with clinical manifestation such as fever, myalgia, arthralgia with leukopenia, rash, lymphadenopathy, trombositopenia and diatesis hemorrhagic. The incidence rate in Indonesia is 6-15 per 100.000 people. Diagnosis of dengue infection is confirmed by serological test and viral detection. The management of dengue infection is symptomatically and with supportive therapy to substitute the fluid loss due to plasma leakage. We report a case of severe dengue hemorrhagic fever with acute hepatitis confirmed by several laboratory test such as CBC, liver function test, dengue serological test. After we gave supportive therapy, the patient gets significant improvement.
