For fever with vomiting where dengue is suspected, you should get a Dengue NS1 Antigen test, which helps detect dengue in the early stages, along with a CBC test to monitor platelet counts. These tests are not available as home kits but can be done easily at nearby labs with home sample collection. If your child develops severe vomiting, drowsiness, bleeding, or worsening weakness, visit the hospital immediately for treatment. Book Dengue NS1 Antigen and CBC tests as your next step for diagnosis.

Take a Dengue NS1 Antigen - Elisa Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) 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 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?
