Role Of Platelet Indices In Patients With Dengue Fever- A Case Control Study.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Dengue is a global endemic and most prevalent human arbovirus disease. Recently, platelet indices have been assessed usefully in the diagnosis conditions with abnormal platelet counts. Present study aims to investigate and assess the role of platelet indices in patients with dengue fever in MIMS hospital. Platelet counts (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) were measured. This study was conducted prospectively for a period of 9 months from March 2018 to December 2018. A total of 105 cases are taken into study. MPV and PLT were significantly lower in cases of dengue (P<0.0006). The PDW is significantly high in cases of dengue (P<0.039). Hence forth Low PLT, MPV and PDW may be used as probable indicators for dengue in endemic area. MPV <9 fl and PDW >13fl shows considerable sensitivity for dengue fever.
