WHITE BLOOD CELLS AND PLATELETS AS PREDICTIVE PARAMETERS IN DENGUE FEVER
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
Dengue fever is an epidemical viral infection which causes the death of dozens in some of the Yemeni governorates recently. The aim of this study was to consider whether dengue infection can be suspected based on haematological findings. We studied 70 positive cases for dengue infection based on anti-dengue immunoglobulin (NS1, IgM and IgG) test. The most common haematological findings were thrombocytopenia, leucopenia. The total WBC count was of <2000/μl and the platelet count was of <100,000/μl. These findings can be considered as predictors of dengue infection.
