We report a 13-year-old boy who developed bradycardia and hypotension a day after recovery from dengue hemorrhagic fever. His electrocardiogram, during the bradycardia, showed a junctional rhythm with a rate of 50 beats/minute. This is the first reported case of sinus node dysfunction following dengue infection.

Dengue fever is an important arboviral disease that significantly impacts the disease burden among populations residing in tropical regions. Dengue infection is known to have a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, which range from fatal, life-threatening shock, encephalitis, and myocarditis to asymptomatic illness. Mild hepatic dysfunction with deranged hepatic laboratory parameters is a known entity with dengue fever.

Dengue fever is an arboviral infection whose presentation ranges from a mild febrile illness to a multisystem complicated syndrome. We report a case of 58-year-old female presenting with fever, myalgia, arthralgia, and vomiting who was found to be infected with dengue and had electrocardiography changes revealing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, a rare manifestation in dengue. Dengue fever can affect the cardiovascular system leading to conduction abnormalities, hypotension, arrhythmias, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, and occasionally myocardial infarction, which has been reported in only a few case reports prior to this.

Dengue is a prevalent arthropod-born viral disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from undifferentiated fever to a more severe form of the disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome. However, atypical manifestations such as hepatic, neurological, cardiac, and kidney involvement are increasingly being reported, thus the term "expanded dengue syndrome". We report a series of cases with an atypical presentation of dengue fever marked by various cardiac manifestations, including cardiogenic shock secondary to myocardial involvement.
