Abstract

Background: Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infection. As far as quantities of people tainted, it is by a long shot the most crushing of all the perceived arthropod-transmitted infection illnesses.

Methods: This study was conducted in  Department of PathologyA total of 82 serum samples from clinically suspected dengue patients attending outdoors, causality services and indoor patients were included in this study.

Results: In our study, 512 total samples were included in this study. 82 samples were positive, and 430 samples were negative out of 512 samples. In the present study, 54% were males and 46% were females. In this study showed relationship between Platelet count and other parameters.

Conclusions: Thrombocytopenia found in case of fever which is more constantly in dengue positive sooner than dengue negative cases. It correlates well when NS1 & IgM are found simultaneously.
