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

My husband has had a continuous fever for the past 3 days, with temperatures ranging from 98.8F to 100.5F. He also has cold and cough. Blood tests for malaria and typhoid are normal. CBC and urine routine tests are also normal. Despite taking antibiotics and paracetamol, the fever persists. Could you please advise what might be causing this and what steps we should take next?

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?
