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.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

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