A Case of Enterococcus Faecalis Infective Endocarditis Following Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever

Abstract

Dengue fever is a leading health problem in Vietnam. Clinical presentation can vary from a simple flu like illness to hemorrhagic fever with shock. Most people who develop dengue fever recover completely within 1 weeks. Apart from the complications such as haemorrhage and dengue shock syndrome, concurrent bacteraemia inpatients with dengue fever is a very rare complication. We report a patient initially diagnosed with dengue haemorrhagic fever, who subsequently developed Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis.
