Abstract
Background: Fever is an elevation of body temperature that exceeds the normal daily variation and occurs in conjunction with an increase in hypothalamic set point. This study comprised of all hospitalized patients with fever of less then seven days in duration and thrombocytopenia which is divided into Mild (<150,000 to>100,000/mcl), moderate (<100,000 to>50,000/mcl) and severe (<50,000/mcl) categories. Aims and Objectives: To study the common causes of acute fever and thrombocytopenia like Dengue fever, Chikungunya fever, Malaria, and Leptospirosis in relevance to Indian subcontinent by relevant laboratory and immunological tests. Materials and Methods: A single centric, prospective study of 50 indoor patients with fever < 7 days was carried out at B J Medical college and civil hospital and relevant biochemical and laboratory tests were done. Conclusion: Fever with thrombocytopenia occurs more commonly in younger age group (12-30 years) with dengue as most common cause and males preponderance. The cases showed seasonal variability with most cases occurring between June to September.
