Deepak,3 month old male baby, of middle soccioeconomic class persented to us with poor feeding and irritable behavior. Born to nonconsaguinious marraige ,by NVD, CIAB, with unevevntfull 3 month home staying,Baby put on broad spectrum antibiotics and relavant investigation sent. All parameters are normal except leucopenia.
Since baby in delhi (Dengue zone)so we send sample for Dengue NS1 as cause for letharginess. we surprise by knownig it is postive. It is repated twice for confirmation it postive again.
Local epidemics / disease pattern must be kept in mind for any unusual presentation even in small baby.
