title: Subsequent pancreatitis and haemothorax in a patient of expanded dengue syndrome.
abstract: We report a case of expanded dengue syndrome, where two different presentations occurred subsequently. A patient of dengue haemorrhagic fever initially was admitted with acute pancreatitis, complicated with left pancreatic effusion, but later on, during resolution of pancreatitis and effusion, developed spontaneous right haemothorax. Such presentations, besides being rare themselves, have not been reported to occur subsequently, in the same patient, during the same disease process.
