Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction : Dengue fever is the most common arthropod borne disease caused by dengue virus. Decreasing platelet counts has been found to predict the severity of dengue fever . Aims and objectives of the study was to evaluate platelet indices and to found their correlation with mean platelet count which is a predictor of severity of dengue Methods : The present study is a prospective study carried out in the Department of Medicine in a tertiary hospital in Dehradun . The study included 200 patients admitted between december 2016 to july 2018 with clinical features of dengue . Results : A significant negative correlation was found between mean platelet count and MPV ( r = - 0.247 , p = 0.004 ) and mean platelet count and PDW ( r = -0.267, p = <0.001 ). A significant positive correlation was found between mean platelet count and plateletcrit ( r= 0.937 , p= < 0.001 ). Conclusion : Platelet indices are useful parameters in dengue . Other than platelet count , MPV , PDW , plateletcrit are useful to monitor dengue fever .
