Dengue may be bad, but bleeding from the eyes is not a
symptom. I do remember the protagonist in DIA having Dengue,
and I remember him bleeding from the eyes. I also remember
the pederast doctor warning the protagonist about bleeding
from the eyes as a symptom of Dengue (I am sure the doctor
character was supposed to be incompetent.) In any case, the
protagonist was clearly a direct analogue for Christ in his
final days, and bleeding from the eyes was just a figurative
part of his trial. It seems ridiculous to me to discuss the
causality of the eye bleeding as a simple symptom of a viral
infection. If you insist on a direct cause, then I vote for
the horse amphetamines.
