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

Does dengue have any cure?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
