Dengue with Hemorrhagic Manifestations: an Imported Case from the Middle East*

Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan 48202

We report a case of imported dengue with hemorrhagic manifestations seen in a patient who had recently returned from South Yemen. Conspicuous laboratory findings were marked thrombocytopenia and increase in the number of "transformed" lymphocytes. Hemagglutination-inhibition and complement-fixation antibody titers suggest a secondary heterotypic type of infection. Further studies should be done to establish the endemic nature of dengue throughout Yemen and adjacent countries on the Arabian peninsula.

Accepted for publication January 6, 1984.
