Abstract

Dengue is the most common arboviral infection in the world. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) presents with
manifestations like gum bleeding, melaena, menorrhagia, epistaxis, hemoptysis and sometimes bleeding into the third
space all of which are well documented. Spontaneous intra-muscular hematoma is a rare manifestation of DHF; very
few such cases have been reported so far. We report a 25-year-old woman who was admitted with DHF and later on
developed spontaneous calf muscle hematoma in the soleus muscle.
