The authors report four autopsy cases of previously healthy children with dengue shock syndrome complicated with infection-associated hemophagocytosis and invasive aspergillosis. Hemophagocytosis is confirmed by histopathology of autopsied reticuloendothelial organs. All four children were identified to have invasive aspergillosis by histopathology and three cases were positive on fungal cultur...
