PAREDES, Gabriel; CORREA, Daiana  and  REAL, Raúl. Dengue in an anticoagulated patient. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2014, vol.1, n.1, pp.61-64. ISSN 2312-3893.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2014.01(01)61-064.

We present the case of a 73-year-old man with dengue who had a mechanical prosthesis in aortic position and was anticoagulated with acenocoumarol. As he was admitted with thrombocytopenia, acenocoumarol was suspended and anticoagulated instead with enoxaparin. The patient showed a favorable evolution and was discharged and restarted on acenocoumarol.

Keywords : dengue; thombocytopenia; anticoagulation; acenocoumarol; enoxaparin.
