This article discusses a rare case of Chandipura virus (CHPV) infection with hemorrhagic complications in a 5-year-old boy from Gujarat, India. CHPV belongs to the Rhabdoviridae family and is primarily transmitted through the bites of infected sandflies. While most cases of CHPV infection present with symptoms like fever and central nervous system involvement, hemorrhagic manifestations are rare but can worsen the disease's clinical progression. The article highlights the challenges in managing severe CHPV infection with hemorrhagic complications and emphasizes the need for early recognition and aggressive multidisciplinary care. Further research is needed to understand the pathogenesis of hemorrhage in CHPV infection and develop targeted therapeutic interventions. [Extracted from the article]
