Abstract
Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a spectrum of disease ranging from uncomplicated febrile illness to various devastating hemorrhagic manifestation and refractory shock. Cardiac complication in dengue fever (DF) is not common. Myocarditis has been a known complication of dengue fever. We report the case of myocarditis complicating DHF in a 34 years old female at 36 weeks of gestation with probable fetal myopericarditis.
期刊介绍：
Indian Association of Clinical Medicine is an academic body constituted in the year 1992 by a group of clinicians with the main aim of reaffirming the importance of clinical medicine in this era of high-tech diagnostic modalities. There is no doubt that modern investigational methods have contributed a lot to the present day medical practice but that does not render clinical acumen and examination less important. The art and science of clinical medicine helps up to make proper and judicious use of investigations and not these be the sole basis of our practice. That is the basic idea behind this ''Association''. We presently have members and fellows of the association from all over the country. In August, 2002 the body was registered as "Indian Association of Clinical Medicine" by the Registrar of Societies, Delhi.
