Yes, initially the patient will have a high-grade fever and the platelet count will start dropping eventually.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a IMMATURE PLATELET FRACTION (IPF) COUNT Test or Take a Allergy Non Veg Food Panel Test

Diagnosed with dengue today and already hospitalized. I was admitted on Tuesday evening for a viral infection. Blood reports were done on Monday, Thursday, and today. My platelet count dropped from 1.8 to 0.90, and now it is 0.28. After that, the dengue test came back positive. Please suggest what should be done.

I recently did an NS1 dengue test, which came out negative. Unsatisfied with the result, I repeated the test at a different clinic, and it showed a Dengue NS1 Antigen ratio of 3.5. All other parameters, such as platelet count and blood pressure, are normal. Can someone explain what this result means in detail, and what steps I should take next?

I have tested positive for NA1 and AG in my dengue test report. What do these results actually indicate, and what treatment or remedies should I follow?
