AbstractHELLP syndrome is a combination of symptoms described as hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets. HELLP is a common life-threatening complication of pregnancy thought to be a variant or complication of preeclampsia. In this case report, we aimed to present a woman with acute postpartum HELLP syndrome complicated by pulmonary edema after caesarean section following severe preeclampsia. Our experience suggests that early detection of HELLP syndrome and timely management will bring good outcomes.

Low Platelet Count

HELLP is an acronym that refers to a syndrome characterized by Haemolysis with a microangiopathic blood smear, Elevated Liver enzymes, and a Low Platelet count.  Recent studies suggested that some women will develop HELLP without the manifestations of classical symptoms. Authors present the case of a 22-year-old normotensive primigravida who went into severe thrombocytopenia and haemolysis leading to DIC, finally the diagnosis of normotensive HELLP syndrome was made. Present case report attempts to illustrate the diagnostic dilemma that a clinician faces in diagnosing an atypical presentation of HELLP syndrome. Management of jaundice during pregnancy especially in third trimester remains a dilemma for the obstetrician because of its varied aetiology, unpredictable prognosis and guarded perinatal outcome. Authors therefore recommend a rational stepwise approach toward the diagnosis of HELLP syndrome and its atypical presentation.

Life Threatening Complication

HELLP syndrome is a life threatening complication of pregnancy, characterized by haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet counts. Preeclampsia is a risk factor for developing HELLP. However, some patients can have HELLP in the absence of elevated blood pressure. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection characterized by fever, leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, and bleeding manifestations. This is a case of a young primigravida who presented with dengue fever and was found to have an associated normotensive HELLP syndrome.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(2) 2018 40-42
