AB  - Dengue outbreak is common in Indian subcontinent and causes significant morbidity 
      and mortality. Year 2015 has witnessed yet another Dengue epidemic in northern 
      India and the number of cases this year is maximum in a decade. Dengue infection 
      is a viral disease and there are 4 different serotypes DENV1, DENV2, DENV3 and 
      DENV4. This year DENV2 and DENV4 have been isolated from most of the patients. 
      Thrombocytopenia is hallmark of dengue infection and generally recovers within 
      ten days of onset of symptoms. We report a case of dengue haemorrhagic fever in 
      which thrombocytopenia persisted for almost a month and improved after 
      Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration. This is the first case where 
      IVIG has been successfully used for treating persisting thrombocytopenia after 
      dengue infection.
