of leucopenia. Here is the case of a 14-year Thai boy presenting with fever and diarrhea for 3 days. He was diagnosed as
dengue hemorrhagic fever, grade I because he had hemoconcentration, thrombocytopenia without bleeding and positive IgM
dengue antibody. On the 5th day, he developed agranulocytosis and was treated with G-CSF and empirical antibiotics. His
leucocyte count was successfully normalized within 1 day and persistently sustained until discharge.
