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

What precautions should I take after suffering from dengue?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 33 year old science graduate. I know that fever and high WBC count are defense mechanisms of our body to protect from infection. But my CBC blood report showed a low WBC count, and I have had fever for 5 days. How are low WBC count and fever related to each other?
