An Unusual Ocular Manifestation of Dengue Fever
Abstract
Dengue fever is the most common mosquito borne viral disease of humans caused by a flavivirus transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito..Most people infected with dengue virus are asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms such as uncomplicated fever; few have more severe features , while in a small proportion it is life threatening .Severe dengue is defined as that associated with severe bleeding, severe organ
dysfunction, or severe plasma leakage.Ophthalmic manifestations of dengue can involve both the anterior and posterior segment and are usually associated with a low platelet count. We report an ocular emergency of acuteretrobulbar haemorrhage,proptosis and globe rupture as a rare complication in a patient with dengue fever.
