Dr. Vandan Kanabar, Dr. Vageesh Kathuria

Abstract :

Background: Dengue Virus infection is a major cause of acute feile illness and of thrombocytopenia in Indian population. This study is aimed at identifying haematological and biochemical changes associated with dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever, so that the severity and prognosis can be assessed and disease morbidity can be reduced. Also when sophisticated tests are not available, other parameters can be used to assess and manage the patient. Materials and Methods: 46 patients presenting with Acute feile illness, cytopenia and tested positive on ELISA were included. Hematological and Biochemical tests were conducted. Also features like hepatosplenomegaly, bleeding manifestations and mortality were observed. Results and conclusion: Dengue is one of the commonest cause of AUFI and is associated with higher prevalence of leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, mild to moderate hepatic dysfunction and mild renal dysfunction.
