Resumen

A 17-year-old male patient is admitted with an acute episode of dengue fever, during its course presents prolonged fever associated with multiple intrabdominal abscesses (hepatic, splenic). A search for other causes was performed, yielding negative results. The fever spontaneously resolved after 30 days of illness, along with the inflammatory markers. A follow-up imaging at 30 days showed the absence of lesions in the liver and a significant decrease in the abscesses in the spleen. A review is conducted on prolonged dengue associated with intrabdominal complications.
