An unusual cause for shock in dengue fever.

چکیده
Polycythaemia may be primary which is known as PV or secondary. PV results from clonal expansion of a transformed haematopoietic stem cell. This is associated with a prominent overproduction of erythrocytes and to a lesser extent, expansion of the granulocytic and megakaryocytic elements. PV is usually associated with genetic mutations such as JAK2V617F and JAK2Exon12. There are case reports of PV associated with glomerulonephritis such as FSGS, membranous GN and IgA nephropathy [3-7]. But there are no reported cases of PV associated with MPGN to our knowledge.
