Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Aims: To study etiological and laboratory parameters of acute febrile illness patients in relation with thrombocytopenia. Material and methods: This is a hospital based cross sectional study between October 2012 to August 2014, with the diagnosis of acute febrile illnesses with thrombocytopenia like Dengue fever (DF), malaria, leptospirosis, viral infections and typhoid fever. Their clinical and laboratory parameters were compared for the diagnostic utility in acute febrile illness with thrombocytopenia. Results: Out of 100 cases were collected for the entire study 55 cases were dengue positive, 22 cases were unexplained fever, 11 cases were of septicemia, 7 cases were positive for Malaria and 3 cases were diagnosed as enteric based on blood culture and 2 cases were positive for leptospiral IgM. Among the total 100 cases 65 were males and 35 were females. The most common age group affected in our study was 21-40 years of age. Bleeding manifestations include petechia (55.81%), epistaxis (51.16%), Hematuria (39.53%), subconjuctival Hemorrhages (23.26%), bleeding gums (11.63%), malaena (4.65%). Conclusion: It is a hospital based cross-sectional study showing the etiological and clinical profile of patients with acute febrile illness in relation with thrombocytopenia
