Thrombocytopenia and deranged platelet functions in dengue infection might affect the stability of clot and increase the risk of re-rupture of aneurysm.

In cases of severe dengue, plasma leakage could lead to intravascular depletion, and coupled with haemoconcentration and hypotension would further increase the risk for vasospasm.
