Clinical Features And Haematological Profile Of Dengue Fever

Dr. Munde D. D, Dr. Shetkar U. B.

Abstract :

It is retrospective analysis of clinical and laboratory features of dengue fever (DF) at S.K.N. medical college hospital, Narhe , Pune from Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2011. We found 20 patients of DF in our study. The common clinical features were fever (100%), myalgias (50%), headache (25%), vomiting (25%) and pain in Abdomen (15%). Haemorrhagic manifestations were absent in our study. Laboratory investigations revealed thrombocytopenia (75%) and leukopenia (50%) in our cases. The platelet count is not predictive of bleeding. The role of platelet transfusion is justified only in patients with active bleeding. At the most, it can be suggested that empirical transfusion may be administered in dengue patients without bleeding with a platelet count of less than 20,000–25,000/cmm.
