ABSTRACT
Background: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and dengue virus
infection is an uncommon clinical occurrence.
Clinic case: An 18-year-old male patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
deficiency that developed a severe episode of hemolytic anemia during a dengue
infection.
Conclusions: Dengue management is only symptomatic with rest, acetaminophen,
hydration, and care for complications that ensue. Similarly, hemolytic crises in G6PDdeficient
patients require only supportive management with hydration and folic acid
supplementation during the crisis.
