- W4387249546 abstract "SESSION TITLE: Chest Infections Case Report Posters 16 SESSION TYPE: Case Report Posters PRESENTED ON: 10/09/2023 02:10 pm - 02:55 pm INTRODUCTION: The dengue epidemic is a major health-related threat in India. A total of 110 million cases of Dengue were reported from January to October 2022, trends similar to those in 2018 [1]. Zoonotic infections have been on the rise, both globally and in India [2]. Other infections like Leptospira, zoonotic infections and scrub typhus are also common and present with overlapping symptoms. They can often present as co-infection, leading to missed diagnosis and lack of antibiotic therapy against all the causative organisms, thus affecting morbidity and mortality [3]. The physician should have a strong suspicion and make an early attempt to identify and treat the condition since most of the time these are featureless and treatable, but delaying treatment increases the risk of serious consequences such as encephalitis, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome(ARDS), and Multiorgan dysfunction syndrome(MODS). CASE PRESENTATION: A 25-year-old female was referred to our hospital to receive treatment for dengue and its complications. The initial workup was suggestive of high-grade fever, severe anaemia, transaminitis, Acute kidney injury and thrombocytopenia. On the first day of admission, she developed shortness of breath and the examination was suggestive of bilateral crepitus, USG of the Chest showed a left-sided minimal pleural effusion. The patient became oxygen dependent, and was deteriorating hemodynamically, and thus was shifted to the ICU. The patient with the above findings was treated as Multiorgan dysfunction Syndrome and was managed conservatively. The patient was subsequently intubated and diagnosed with ARDS. The fever persisted and the blood culture and dengue serology sent on the first day came out negative, followed by addition of Doxycycline for other zoonotic coverage. Scrub typhus IgG was sent and came back positive. This led to the diagnosis of secondary zoonotic infection by scrub typhus causing ARDS and MODS. DISCUSSION: Fever, chills, myalgia, and headaches are overlapping symptoms seen in all leptospira, dengue and scrub typhus. Leptospira has a longer incubation period of 2-30 days, while scrub typhus and dengue have a shorter of 5-10 days. Leptospira can additionally present with encephalitis and pulmonary and subconjunctival haemorrhages, and rarely ARDS. Scrub typhus has transaminitis acute kidney injury and ARDS more frequently than the rest, and is also associated with multiorgan failure. The clinical course of Scrub typhus is more rapid than Dengue. Sometimes fever may get resolved but transaminitis and AKI may persist which suggests a more likely zoonotic infection rather than dengue. Transaminitis and deranged renal function may persist even after complete clinical recovery [3]. CONCLUSIONS: Even during a dengue epidemic, a patient with thrombocytopenia, transaminitis, mildly deranged renal function tests and rapidly deteriorating is not the initial presentation of dengue in the absence of shock. For this presentation infectious agents like Scrub typhus, Rickettsiae and leptospira should also be ruled out. In case of an emergency and high clinical suspicion of a case especially from the endemic area, doxycycline should be started from the beginning to give early coverage against these zoonotic bugs.
