Laboratory Profile

Background: Globally the incidence of dengue has increased in the past three decades. It is predominantly found in the urban and semi-urban area however now it is spreading in rural areas also. In India the incidence of dengue has increased due to rapid urbanization, lifestyle changes and improper water storage practices. Hence this study was planned to study the clinical and laboratory profile of dengue patient as the number of dengue patients is on rise every year and there is varied presentation of clinical features in different parts of India.Methods: This observational study was carried out in tertiary care hospital. Confirmed cases of Dengue were included in the study. There cases were observed seven days. During this period their clinical and biochemical profile was recorded in pre structured and pre tested proforma. Data was compiled and analyzed by MS-Office (Excel) and SPSS-21.Results: In this study total 129 patients were enrolled. Out of total 91 were males and 38 were females. Laboratory profile of dengue patients suggested steep decline in total leucocytes count and platelet during first five days but started to increase by seventh day but platelets have not reached to its original normal value while TLC reverted to normal range. Fever and headache were most common symptom in our study.Conclusions: Clinical and laboratory profile of dengue patient changes with every new epidemic and different region in India. Clinical features like organomegaly are more common in paediatrics age group than adults.

Laboratory Profile

Background: Dengue fever is an endemic disease across multiple countries. Dengue infection results in a wide spectrum of non-specific clinical manifestations with unpredictable clinical course and outcome. Objective of the study was to understand the association of different clinical features, comorbidities and laboratory profile with outcomes (ICU use, ventilation use and blood transfusion) among dengue patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital in Delhi, National Capital Region.Methods This cross-sectional study included 75 dengue patients with fever <1 week confirmed based on NS-1 antigen and/or IgM antibody positivity. Descriptive analysis was used.Results: Gender was not significantly associated with the outcomes. The duration of fever was significantly higher among those with ICU use (median: 6 versus 4 days; p=0.005), ventilator use (median: 5.5 versus 4.0 days; p=0.049] and blood transfusion (median: 6 versus 4 days; p=0.013). Dengue patients with co-morbidities (diabetes, hypertension, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or co-infection had a significantly higher odds of the outcomes. The platelet level was significantly lower while liver enzymes were significantly higher among those with the outcomes.Conclusions: The clinical features, comorbidities and laboratory profile can help in identifying critical patients for ICU admission and timely intervention to improve outcome.
