Abstract

Expanded dengue syndrome, accompanied by liver failure, rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), represents a highly lethal condition with a significantly elevated mortality rate. Conventional treatments are ineffective in addressing all these complications concurrently. This case report discusses a young male patient who underwent haemoadsorption, hemodialysis, and subsequently plasma exchange. The patient achieved full recovery without any residual impairment. This report presents the first instance of a dengue patient undergoing simultaneous haemoadsorption and hemodialysis, followed by plasma exchange.
