Article Synopsis
- Dengue is a viral fever spread by mosquitoes, often asymptomatic but can cause severe cases like dengue hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome, with rare cardiac complications.
- A 16-year-old boy with dengue experienced serious heart issues, including third-degree heart block, which didn't improve with standard treatments.
- This case is unique as it highlights the need for clinicians, especially in dengue-endemic areas, to be aware of and recognize potential cardiac problems linked to dengue fever.
