Dengue can get dangerous if not taken care of on time. Especially if it has happened the second time. On the contrary Covid 19 does not cause internal bleeding and shock like dengue.

Take a TRANSFERRIN Test or Take a DENGUE IgG & IgM - ELISA/ELFA/CLIA - HR Test

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?

I have had a fever since last Sunday. Blood tests showed: Dengue NS1 Antigen is Positive, IgM Antibodies is Negative, IgG Antibodies is Positive. I would like to know: Under what conditions or severity of dengue should a patient be hospitalized? Is there any specific medicine available in India for treating dengue?
