“…These findings were comparable with a study conducted by Mukherjee S et al in which male to female ratio were 3.3:1. 4 Similar results were also observed in studies conducted by Raiker S R et al and Ahmed S et al 5,6 In the present study all cases (100%) had fever (similar to Md Yousuf Khan et al study). 7 The typical 2-7 days fever as described by WHO was found in 68 cases (68%).…”

Background: Dengue is a common vector-borne disease in India with significant morbidity & mortality. Thrombocytopenia is a common complication in dengue. Bleeding manifestations in dengue put an immense pressure on both patients and treating physicians. There are no clear guidelines for transfusion of platelets in bleeding patients and role of Platelet transfusion in this condition is a bit controversial.Methods: It was an observational study done at Sree Rajarajeswari medical college and hospital between 1st May and 31st July 2016. Total of 100 dengue-positive cases were studied with respect to clinical features, laboratory parameters and requirement of platelet transfusion.Results: Majority of patients were males and in the age group 21-30 years. Fever was present in all cases, with a mean of 3-6 days duration. Epistaxis was the most common bleeding manifestation (43%), Malena being the least (3%). Leucopenia was observed in 52% patients. Thrombocytopenia was seen in 89% of admitted patients and 38% among them had raised aPTT. 53%of patients in our study received platelet transfusion.Conclusions: Bleeding manifestations have no significant association with severity of platelet count. Severe leucopenia is associated with thrombocytopenia. There is no need of platelet-transfusion in all patients with thrombocytopenia with minor bleeds.

“…This is very similar with several other studies done in various other parts of India. 4,6 Leukopenia was observed in 52% in present study. Neutropenia may be due to marked degeneration of mature neutrophils and "shift to left during febrile phases of illness.…”

“…Out of 82 patients 63 (77%) were males and 19 (23%) were females. 17 These demographic characteristics observed in the above discussed studies where a male and middle age preponderance was noted is similar to that of the findings of the present study.…”

“…16 The main differences between survived (n=93) and mortality (n=12) group were as follows; mean value of SGPT was 260IU/mL (survived) and 931IU/mL (mortality group), and mean value of SGOT was 390IU/mL (survived) and 1075IU/mL (mortality group). 16 17 These observations on proportion of patients who required platelet transfusion and duration of hospital stay were similar to the findings of the present study.…”

Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection that in recent years has become an important disease of international public health concern. Dengue virus infections and illness when symptomatic, that patients tend to present with a significantly wide variety manifestations. The aim of the study was to evaluate liver dysfunction in patients with dengue infections.Methods: The present study was undertaken as an observational cross-sectional study the period June 2017 to December 2018. The details of all patients with serologically proved dengue fever admitted in the hospital were reviewed. Data including routine blood count, liver function test (LFT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), abdominal ultrasonography was studied. Statistical analysis: Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Difference between proportions was tested by using chi square test. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to measure linear correlation between two continuous variables. A p value <0.05 was consideredstatistically significant.Results: Majority of the study participants were in the age group of 16-30 years (57.5%) and were males (64.5%). Fever, Headache and joint pain were the most common symptoms noted among the study participants. Majority of the study participants were found to have elevated levels of SGOT (75.3%), SGPT (64.2%) levels and lower levels ofserum albumin (68.6%) on evaluation. Statistically significant association was observed between elevated liver enzymes and presence of features of dengue haemorrhagic fever.Conclusions: Considerably high proportion of patients with dengue infection were found to have hepatic dysfunction in the form of deranged liver enzymes.
