ABSTRACT
Célia, 21 month-old child, presented to our pediatric clinic a few months ago with a fever of unknown origin after a stay in St-Domingue with her parents. Complementary investigations led to a diagnosis of Dengue Fever. The condition, not very frequent and thus not well known in our countries, represents a major world health problem especially because of the global failure of prophylactic measures. If the disease is self-limited in most cases, severe form can occur, with significant mortality and morbidity. Delay in diagnosis and treatment of these severe cases is often fatal.
