The relationship between platelet count and the onset of leaking phase in dengue patients

Introduction: The complications of dengue are related to reduced intravascular volume following plasma leakage. Thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunctions detected in all stages the illness and clinical outcome. main objective study was correlate absolute count onset leaking phase patients who had entered into after hospital admission. Methods: One hundred sixteen (age range 14-74 years, median age 33 years) admission were recruited study. Dengue infection confirmed with either presence positive NS1 IgM antibodies. Serial ultrasonography done from until is detected. Platelet counts assessed twice per day just prior ultrasonography. Results: There 47 (40.5%) females 69 (59.5%) males among patients. mean number days at which fever 4.9 ± 0.9 days. 30,051 17,023 /μL. Age time significantly negatively correlated (whole group r = -0.323 p < 0.001; -0.369, 0.011; -0.280 0.020). lower older than 30 years (27,577.5 17,361.4) compared those younger (33,955.6 15,888.8) (p=0.032). Upper limit 77, 000/ μL slightly females. Conclusions: According this study, value as a predictor progression depends on Young more prone develop higher
