Abstract

Dengue fever (DF) is a rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease, which can present with haemorrhagic manifestations. This is case of a young male who presented with fever and hemoptysis. He was diagnosed to have DF with post nasal bleeding (spurious hemoptysis). DF presenting with unprovoked post nasal bleeding is an uncommon scenario.
