ABSTRACT

Dengue fever is the world's most important arboviral disease, presenting a wide clinical spectrum. We report for the first time in Peru, a case caused by dengue virus serotype 4 with significant gastrointestinal involvement (acute acalculous cholecystitis and acute hepatitis). In addition we carried out a review of the literature atypical presentation illustrating the importance of the characteristics of abdominal pain (right upper quadrant); presence of Murphy's sign, ultrasound, and liver enzymes levels, for appropriate diagnosis and clinical management.


El dengue es la arbovirosis más importante del mundo y causa un amplio espectro clínico. Presentamos el primer caso de dengue causado por el serotipo 4 (DENV-4) en Perú con compromiso gastrointestinal (colecistitis aguda alitiásica y hepatitis aguda moderada). Se presenta una revisión de la literatura médica sobre este tipo de presentación, enfatizando la importancia y características del dolor abdominal (hipocondrio derecho), el signo de Murphy, los hallazgos ultrasonográficos y la medición de las enzimas hepáticas para establecer el diagnóstico y manejo adecuado.
