Situation: A patient with acute fever developed acute bleeding after aspirin was given.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why was dengue not ruled out?
Lesson: Make sure that all patients with acute febrile illness are evaluated for dengue as low platelets count can precipitate bleeding in them, if aspirin is given to reduce fever.
