Seasonal incidence of dengue is also noted. 84 cases were reported from June to November and only 26 cases were reported from January to May. Platelet count was reduced less than 1.5 lakhs/cumm in 85 cases; however haematocrit was raised in 56 cases. Fever was noted in all cases, however headache, body ache, abdominal pain, vomiting was presenting complaint in more than 50% cases. History of bleeding was noted in 22 (20%) cases. All patients received isotonic normal saline (0.9%NS). None of the patients required dextran 40. I.V. fluid normal saline bolus was required in 73 (66.36%) cases. Dopamine drip was required in 11 (10%) cases and platelet and plasma transfusion was required in 24 (21.81%) cases. All patients recovered completely and discharged. Conclusion: In this study male to female ratio was 3:2, Dengue is common during monsoon and post monsoon period in this study out of 110 cases, 84 (76.36%) cases are observed during this period of June to November of year.
