Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
PURPOSE: To study ocular manifestations of dengue hemorrhagic fever and its association with platelet count METHODS: Cross sectional observational study of 30 patients was done at PBM hospital, Bikaner. IgM and IgG positive dengue cases were selected over 4 months period. Ocular and systemic examination was carried out during hospitalization and follow up visits RESULTS: From 30 patients 25(83.3%) were males and 5(16.7%) were females. Mean age was 32 years. Ocular manifestations were present in 19(63.3%) patients from which 15(50%) patients had petechial subconjunctival hemorrhage and 5 (16.7%) patients had dot, blot hemorrhages and macular edema. All 16(53.3%) patients with platelet count of <35,000/μl had ocular manifestations. Ocular changes resolved in all the cases after 6 weeks. CONCLUSION: Incidence of ocular complications in dengue is increasing hence all patients should be referred to ophthalmologist to prevent any sight-threatening complications.
