Case Presentation: This case report will investigate the management of fluid replacement in a chronic heart failure patient with dengue fever, MrZK, in a district hospital of the state of Selangor in Malaysia a year ago. His fluid requirement wasmanagedbased on the existing guidelines, his clinical status, and blood parameters. He was safely discharged after three days of hospital stay without any of the complications of chronic heart failure or dengue fever.
