Rana Chanchal, Pranjali Saxena

Abstract :

 

Dengue infection during pregnancy poses a risk to both the mother and foetus. A neonate born to a dengue positive mother had perinatal asphyxia and developed features of sepsis but with a normal sepsis screen. Patient’s blood investigations showed thrombocytopenia and were positive for dengue. Possibility of vertical transmission was suspected as baby became symptomatic within the incubation period.
