Abstract
Dengue infection is a well-known tropical disease that has become a global health issue. The clinical characteristics of dengue range from asymptomatic to severe, which can involve multiple organs and challenge management. Rhabdomyolysis in dengue infection is a rare condition described in children and adolescents. Herein, we present the case of a young adolescent with autism spectrum disorder who had a dengue virus serotype 1 infection complicated by rhabdomyolysis, which was not detected based on its typical manifestations. Rhabdomyolysis is recognized as one of the manifestations of expanded dengue syndrome and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially if acute kidney injury develops. These coexisting conditions should be carefully considered, particularly in patients with underlying medical issues that may contribute to a worse prognosis. The early diagnosis and management of patients with dengue complicated by rhabdomyolysis is challenging and should be widely acknowledged. The detection of potential complications and appropriate fluid balance are essential to achieve a better prognosis.
