Background: Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) is caused by dengue virus type 1-4; it is still endemic in Indonesia.

Pleural effusion and ascites were diagnosed after fluid resuscitation. Clinical improvement was observed after furosemide therapy and could be discharged after seven days of treatment. Conclusion: Diuretic administration can be considered in case of dengue haemorrhagic fever with severe plasma leakage. Further research is needed.
