Abstract
Congenital dengue could be asymptomatic or present with critical illness. In vertical transmission, it presents with fever, rash, thrombocytopenia, hepatomegaly, and mildly elevated liver enzyme levels.
We present a case of a neonate who had dengue and was positive for nonstructural protein 1. He was asymptomatic initially, but later developed critical illness requiring mechanical ventilation with inotropic support. He was discharged after 2 weeks of critical illness, after achieving breastfeeding.
