Article Synopsis
- - Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through infected female mosquitoes, resulting in around 100 million new cases yearly across over 120 countries, with a significant rise in incidence over the past 40 years.
- - Most people experience mild symptoms, but some can develop severe disease, which may lead to death; immune responses and blood-related issues are key factors in severe cases.
- - This review explores the clinical and biological aspects of blood-related symptoms in dengue, highlights critical gaps in current knowledge and practice, and suggests areas for future research.
Many challenges remain in diagnosing monoclonal immunoglobulin-associated renal disease, despite widespread application of immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry. Here, we report a newly diagnosed case of multiple myeloma with clinical suspicion of renal amyloidosis, which had negative IF staining for kappa and lambda light chains in the glomeruli. Although laser microdissection and mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis have emerged as important tools for amyloid typing in the literature, such facilities are still not widely available in Asia.

We evaluated whether the atypical lymphocyte count (ALC), generated from the Sysmex automated full blood count analyzer, is predictive of severe thrombocytopenia secondary to Dengue infection.
Methods: We prospectively collected data on patients admitted with DD between December 2017 and October 2018.
