With the onset of dengue epidemic, increasing number of pregnant women are at the risk of Dengue infection. If she delivers at the height of viremia, there is a probability of severe post-partum haemorrhage from the raw wound in the uterus and the newborn is at risk of vertical transmission of dengue infection. A 23 years female with 37 weeks of pregnancy was admitted to our hospital with 3 days of fever. She was diagnosed to have dengue infection. She delivered on the third day of admission. Mother had a tormentous post partum period requiring intensive care support and multiple transfusions. Baby also developed dengue infection and severe thrombocytopenia. Awareness of this condition helps in proper management and prevention of maternal and neonatal death.

Cutting of Y2O3‐doped TZP rods by a low‐speed diamond saw introduces an unidentified, metastable phase X (x‐ZrO2) coexisting with the tetragonal (t‐ZrO2) and the monoclinic (m‐ZrO2) phases initially present in the sample. Further mechanical deformation of the cut surface by indentation or polishing sustains the x‐ZrO2. Chemical etching removes the x‐ZrO2 and increases the m‐ZrO2content.

Larsen syndrome was first described in 1950 by Larsen, Schottstaedt and Bost. This rare inherited disorder is characterized by congenital dislocation of multiple joints along with other anomalies of heart, face, hands and bones. Awareness of this condition and assosciated complications helps in better follow up and management of these patients.
