Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Dengue is a mosquito bone flavoviral disease which has emerged as a serious health issue in past decades. It is associated with multiple clinical manifestation and mortality in severe cases. These can be reduced by timely diagnosis and proper management. Thus the aim of our study is to assess the clinical and hematological profile of patients infected with dengue. Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Pathology at Varun-Arjum Medical College and Rohilkhand Hosptital, Shahjahanpur, Banthara, Uttar Pradesh, India. Results: Total 75 patients was included in our study of which most of the patients were males (70.67%),13.33%, 64% and 22.67% of cases in our study were present with severe dengue, dengue with and without warning signs respectively. Fever was most common feature presented (100%) followed by headache (84%), myalgia (78.67%), nausea/Vomiting (34.67%) and Abdominal pain (22.67%). Thrombocytopenia was most common hematological finding (73.33%). 42.67% of patients had Leucopenia, 45.33% had Hematocrit value > 45% while 7% of cases had prothrombin time >14 sec and partial thromboplastin time more than 40 sec. All the patients were given antipyretics while 37.33 %, and 7% of patients received IV fluids and platelet transfusion. Conclusion: Dengue is increasing globally due to uncontrolled urbanization and unhygienic sanitation. Sustained control measures, knowledge of warning signs in association with proper laboratory investigations and proper fluids management can yield worthful outcomes.
