Haematological Parameters and Their Utility in Dengue Infection
Haematological Parameters and Their Utility in Dengue Infection
Keywords:
Dengue infection, Leukopenia, ThrombocytopeniaAbstract
Background and objectives: Dengue infection is most important emerging tropical viral disease in world today. Dengue infection is known to increase in India in last decades. So present study is undertaken to know haematological profile associated with dengue seropositivity and evaluation of early and prompt diagnosis of symptoms with complete hemogram to give early treatment of patient rather than waiting for disease to progress. Methods: This prospective study included all the patient positive for NS1 antigen or Ig G or Ig M antibody by rapid card test in the central laboratory of C. U. Shah medical college and hospital, Surendranagar, Gujarat, India, from June 2015 to October 2015. Blood samples taken in EDTA and heparin vaccute and were subjected for NS1 antigen and Ig G and Ig M antibody by rapid card test. Haematological parameters were examine by Beckman coulter haematological auto analyser. Result: A total of 50 proven cases of dengue infection were observed during study period. Thrombocytopenia was the most common change observed in 70% patients followed by 54% patients showed decrease total count and 12 % patients showed increase haematocrit. Conclusion: In our study thrombocytopenia is the most common haematological change followed by leukopenia and increased haematocrit in dengue infection. [Sweta S NJIRM 2017; 8(2):48-50]
