title: Dengue-associated hemophagocytic syndrome in a Japanese traveler: a case report.
abstract: Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) can develop as a complication of dengue in rare cases, but its relationship with dengue is not well known. We report a case of dengue-associated HPS with liver involvement and coagulopathy. The patient, a Japanese female traveler who had recently returned from Thailand, had severe complications of dengue infection, but she recovered fully with symptomatic treatment.
