We report a case of expanded dengue syndrome, where two different presentations occurred subsequently. A patient of dengue haemorrhagic fever initially was admitted with acute pancreatitis, complicated with left pancreatic effusion, but later on, during resolution of pancreatitis and effusion, developed spontaneous right haemothorax. Such presentations, besides being rare themselves, have not been reported to occur subsequently, in the same patient, during the same disease process.

The mosquito species Aedes aegypti (Linneaus) is the vector of multiple arboviruses, including dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever. Risk of infections associated with these arboviruses continues to expand as the geographical range of Ae. aegypti extends into temperate regions.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, with its prevalence expanding due to increased global travel. The dengue virus, the causative agent of dengue fever, often co-circulates in the form of four distinct serotypes. Cross-reactive antibodies generated during a primary infection pose a significant risk during secondary infections with different serotypes, and fully protective vaccines and antiviral drugs are yet to be developed.

Background: Households (HH) have been traditionally described as the main environments where people are at risk of dengue (and other arbovirus) infection. Mounting entomological evidence has suggested a larger role of environments other than HH in transmission. Recently, an agent-based model (ABM) estimated that over half of infections occur in non-household (NH) environments like workplaces, markets, and recreational sites.

- - Flaviviruses are a group of viruses that cause serious diseases in humans, including dengue and Zika, and rely on a protein called NS1 for replication and disease severity.
- - NS1 is secreted from infected cells and contributes to endothelial dysfunction, which affects blood vessel permeability and may facilitate the spread of the virus in the body.
- - Research demonstrates that NS1 aids in the virus's ability to cross endothelial barriers and boosts the infectivity of specific target cells, indicating its crucial role in virus dissemination and its impact on disease progression.
