Vaccine
In areas of the world where dengue fever is common, one dengue fever vaccine (Dengvaxia) is approved for people ages 9 to 45 who have already had dengue fever at least once. The vaccine is given in three doses over the course of 12 months. The vaccine is approved only for people who have a documented history of dengue fever or who have had a blood test that shows previous infection with one of the dengue viruses — called seropositivity. In people who have not had dengue fever in the past (ser...
Prevent mosquito bites
The World Health Organization stresses that the vaccine is not an effective tool on its own to reduce dengue fever in areas where the illness is common. Preventing mosquito bites and controlling the mosquito population are still the main methods for preventing the spread of dengue fever. If you live in or travel to an area where dengue fever is common, these tips may help reduce your risk of mosquito bites: 1. Stay in air-conditioned or well-screened housing.The mosquitoes that carry the deng...
Dec 27, 2022 · A preliminary study on 74 dengue patients with thrombocytopenia-related bleeding showed that although platelet transfusion increased the absolute platelet count by 50%–100%, it had no significant impact on clinical bleeding and did not improve clot strength as assessed by thromboelastography (TEG) .

Aug 31, 2022 · A platelet count of less than 1,00,000 was observed in 77% of patients, whereas decreased total leukocyte count (TLC) and hematocrit were observed in 52.3% and 40% of patients, respectively. About 46.15% of patients had bradycardia on examination. Pleural effusion and ascites were found in 20.7% and 15.3% of patients, respectively.
Oct 5, 2022 · In healthy individuals, 4 to 10 platelets per oil-immersion field (100x; the average of the readings from 10 oil-immersion fields is recommended) indicates an adequate platelet count. An average of 3 platelets per oil-immersion field is considered low (ie, 100,000 per mm 3).
