Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Dengue fever is typically a self-limited disease with a mortality rate of less than 1% when identify early and with access to proper medical care. The rising incidence of dengue fever in India can be contributed by the rapid urbanization with unplanned construction activities and poor sanitation facilities contributing fertile breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The present study is an attempt to describe the salient clinical as well as laboratory findings of serologically confirmed hospitalized cases of dengue fever and correlate bleeding severity with platelet count and platelet volume at the time of bleeding. Materials & Methods: A Descriptive type of study on 100 patients who are going to get admitted as in patients in Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Hospital with symptoms suggestive of Dengue fever such as fever, severe headache, joints pain and bleeding manifestations, shock are investigated with Dengue ELISA test. Those patients found positive for the test are included in study and informed consent is taken from all patients. Results: Our study suggested that the majority of cases were seen in 26-35 years of age group which accounted for 45 patients. Overall male to female ratio was 2.84:1. The mean age was 40 years in males and compared to females was 39 years but statistically non-significant (p=0.7124). The mean platelet count was statistically significant (P < 0.0001***) in comparison between at time of admission (71300±36858) and at the time of discharge (162070±37000). Our study showed that the raised blood urea level, serum creatinine, serum bilirubin, MPV, SGOT & SGPT was associated with higher mortality due to dengue fever. Conclusion: Present study has disclosed a varied clinical pro-file of dengue fever which is of important diagnostic tool. In the recent few years, the world has seen varied clinical pres-entation of the dengue fever in different epidemics, even in the same regions and even with the period of time.
