Item Long-term survival of a patient with single atrium and single ventricular heart: a case report(Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2018) Lohithalingam, P.; Lakmini, K.M.S.; Weerasinghe, S.; Pereira, T.; Premaratna, R.Item Rare case of self-limiting haemolysis associated with Dengue fever in a Sri Lankan female - case report(Royal Society of Medicine,London, 2022) Luke, W.; Lohithalingam, P.; Jayamanne, S.F.A 61-year old female with dengue haemorrhagic fever developed anaemia and rising transaminase levels on the 6th day of illness. She was found to have haemolysis with a negative direct antiglobulin test (DAT), and no red cell fragmentation. She recovered with supportive care. Haemolysis with associated Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and cold Auto-immune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is reported previously; DAT negative haemolytic anaemia associated with dengue fever has not. This case suggests a need for further studies on other immune mechanisms that can lead to haemolysis with dengue fever.
