Fluid isn't always beneficial in Dengue: A case of Syndrome of inappropriate Antidiuretic hormone secretion in Dengue fever

Sanjay Khare, Harshit Thole

Abstract :

Vomiting is one of the warning symptoms in dengue fever and could be due to splanchnic congestion, cholecystitis, Hepatitis etc. It is very tempting to attribute the concomitant hyponatremia to hypovolemia. However, rarely the hyponatremia can itself be the cause of vomiting instead of outcome.We present a rare presentation of dengue fever with hyponatremia secondary to Syndrome of inappropriate Antidiuretic hormone secretion which, if not timely diagnosed can lead to adverse patient outcome with usual fluid therapy in dengue patients.
