Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Dengue is viral infection, not only threat to SriLanka but also threat to the world. It belongs to family Flaviviridae and it responsible for nearly 100 million cases of dengue fever. It affects almost all the systems in our body including, heart, brain, liver, blood and kidney. Dengue fever, affects kidney in various manner, it ranges from glomerulonephritis to acute kidney injuries. It is understandable that, renal involvement may occur in dengue hemorrhagic fever in the absence of shock, sepsis, haemolysis, or rhabdomyolysis. However, acute glomerulonephritis is a rare complication encountered in our clinical practice. Even though various pathological mechanisms play for the renal involvement, but mesangial proliferation and immune complex deposition are the dominant histologic features of dengue-associated glomerulonephritis. The presence of more than 25% urine dysmorphic red cell is specific but not sensitive for glomerulonephritis. This case study elaborates the possible pathogenesis of the glomerulonephritis due to dengue fever
