Haematological Predictors of Section Recovery in Dengue Cases
Introduction: Dengue fever is associated with relative increase in haemoglobin, haematocrit and monocyte counts and reduction in platelet counts, eosinophil percentage and absolute eosinophil count. Recovery is marked by decrease in haemoglobin, haematocrit and monocyte percentage and increase...

Introduction: Dengue fever is associated with relative
increase in haemoglobin, haematocrit and monocyte counts
and reduction in platelet counts, eosinophil percentage and
absolute eosinophil count. Recovery is marked by decrease
in haemoglobin, haematocrit and monocyte percentage and
increase in platelet count, eosinophil percentage and absolute
eosinophil count.
Aim: To assess the haematological parameters like haemoglobin,
haematocrit, monocyte counts, eosinophil counts and absolute
eosinophil counts which may be used as a surrogate marker for
recovery.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was
conducted at Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute for a
period of three months. Hundred consecutive cases of dengue
fever were included in the study. All haematological parameters
including haemoglobin, haematocrit, total WBC count,
differential count with neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes,
eosinophils, basophils, platelet counts and absolute eosinophil
counts were noted on hospital admission and on recovery.
Results: The different haematological parameters which change
statistically significantly during dengue infection and recovery
are the haemoglobin, haematocrit, monocytes, eosinophil,
absolute eosinophil count and platelet count (p-value<0.001).
Conclusion: These changes in haemoglobin, haematocrit,
monocyte percentage and the platelet count, eosinophil
percentages and absolute eosinophil count could be used to
monitor recovery in dengue cases. |
