Abstract

Recently, in Pakistan, several cases of mysterious dengue-like illness are being reported, which has concerned the authorities and requires prompt action. We present a case of a 52-year-old female patient presenting with a history of continuous fever, documented up to 104 F, for 5 days. The symptoms were associated with headache, nausea, retro-orbital headache, arthralgia, and myalgia. Currently, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature for the endemic mysterious virus and may serve as the groundwork for future studies.
