“…Neurologic and/or gastrointestinal symptoms were the most common presenting complaints of 27 women who had been norniotensive during labor and the first few days postpartum, but who were subsequently readmitted with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia (Atterbury et al, 199617). Furthermore, cortical blindness (D'Addessio, 1989;Mandelkern & Burger, 1992); the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP syndrome) (Yilmazturk & Schluter, 1992); cerebral and pulmonary edema; and renal dysfunction (Stricker et al, 1992) have been described in case reports of postpartum severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, or both.…”

“…The HELLP syndrome is a serious pregnancyrelated syndrome characterised by the presence of haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count in combination with preeclampsia/eclampsia. 1 It occurs in about 0.5-0.9% of all pregnancies and in 10-20% of cases with severe preeclampsia. 2,3 Women with HELLP syndrome have a significantly increased risk of fluid overloads, such as renal failure and pulmonary oedema.…”

Introduction: HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets) syndrome is a multisystemic disorder. HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening condition with high maternal and infant mortality rates. This study aimed to present an unexpected case of HELLP syndrome complicated by pulmonary edema. Case presentation: A 40-year-old woman, 80 kg, who was 26-27 weeks into her pregnancy, came to the obstetric department due to fever and nausea in the past three days. She was then referred to the internal medicine department and diagnosed with dengue fever by the symptom of fever and thrombocytopenia. After two days of in-patient treatment, the obstetrician diagnosed her with HELLP syndrome, followed by elevated liver enzymes. She was then posted for an urgent caesarean section, and we managed this case under general anaesthesia. Postoperatively, we aimed for -500 to -1,000 mL cumulative fluid balance to avoid further hypovolemia. Conclusion: The patient showed improvement, as evidenced by chest X-ray and oxygen saturation. Management of fluid overload in this patient with HELLP syndrome was challenging. On the second day in ICU, the antibiotic was changed from meropenem combined with levofloxacin to meropenem combined with amikacin because the leucocyte level increased and procalcitonin level increased in 48-72 hours.
