摘要：

This report is about an 80-year-old woman with dengue complications, self-medicated with salicylate.

This is caused by previous infections by other serotypes of this arbovirus, presence of chronic diseases, immunosenescence and high drug consumption. especially salicylates and the like. Analyses are required in a public health perspective in order to help health professionals that care for patients with dengue in this age range.
