Spontaneous iliopsoas haematoma in a patient with dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF): A case report.

ing disease caused by dengue virus of Flaviviridae family. It may present as a wide spectrum of manifestations ranging from mild dengue fever to severe forms like dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome. Development of severe form of dengue may be predicted early on the basis of high risk factors like older age, presence of other associated infections, history of dengue fever in the past, haematocrit fluctuation >20%, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) >30 s etc. Though, DHF may result in bleeding from any part of the body, spontaneous large muscle haematoma is seldom reported. In present investigation a rare case of large spontaneous iliopsoas haematoma developed in an elderly DHF patient is reported.
