We report a case of Dengue infection in a 20- year- old male with sickle cell anemia who presents to the emergency department with fever, retro orbital headache, bone pain, back pain and myalgia. Laboratory tests revealed elevated hematocrit, thrombocytopenia, IgM and IgG antibodies positivity to dengue virus. The patient was treated with intravenous fluid hydration and paracetamol with rapid deterioration and development of acute respiratory distress and hypovolemic shock due to alveolar hemorrhage.
