ABSTRACT

We report a case of dengue fever with leukopenia and fever that developed during chemotherapy. A male in his fifties presented with fever and chills nine days after his return to Japan from a three-month stay in Myanmar. He underwent chemotherapy for advanced lung adenocarcinoma cancer three days before visiting our hospital. Imported infectious diseases, as well as febrile neutropenia due to chemotherapy, were considered because of fever-accompanied skin rash and cytopenia. He was diagnosed with dengue fever via a positive dengue NS1 antigen test. In a patient with a history of travel to an area at risk of dengue fever who develops fever and skin rash even during chemotherapy, imported infectious diseases such as dengue fever should be distinguished.
