EVERY PERSONS ARE FEARED BY THE DENGUE BUT THIS IS NOT A MATTER THE DOWNFALL OF PLATELETS. ITS DIFFERENT REGIONS. ULTRASOUND IS BEST OPTION TO FIND THE SYMPTOMS OF DENGUE FEVER. whether ultrasound is an important adjunct to clinical and laboratory profile in diagnosing dengue fever or dengue haemorrhagic fever and to further determine whether ultrasound is useful in predicting the severity of the disease. Ultrasound was performed on 128 patients [2–9 years] with clinical suspicion of dengue fever. Serological tests were performed to confirm the diagnosis. 40 patients were serologically negative for dengue fever and later excluded from the study. Of the remaining 88 serologically positive cases, 32 patients underwent ultrasound on second to third day, repeated on fifth to seventh day of fever and in 56 patients ultrasound was done only on fifth to seventh day of fever. Of the 32 patients who underwent the study on second to third day of fever, all showed gall bladder wall thickening and pericholecystic fluid, 21% had hepatomegaly, 6.25% had splenomegaly and right minimal pleural effusion. Follow-up ultrasound on fifth to seventh day revealed ascites in 53% left pleural effusion in 22% and pericardial effusion in 28%. Of the 56 patients who underwent the study on fifth to seventh day of fever for the first time all had gall bladder wall thickening, 21% had hepatomegaly, 7% had splenomegaly, 96% had ascites, 87.5% had right pleural effusion, 66% had left pleural effusion and 28.5% had pericardial fluid. To conclude, in an epidemic of dengue, ultrasound features of thickened gall bladder wall, pleural effusion and ascites should strongly favour the diagnosis of dengue fever. S. TIWARI

Dengue fever is characterized by a sudden high fever and severe pain in the muscles, joints, and bones. [It originally was named "break-bone fever.

DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER IS VERY EASY TO MANAGE EVEN WHEN THE PATIENT HAS ALREADY A PLATELET COUNT OF IN AS LOW AS 53, I JUST HAD PATIENTS ABOUT TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE IC IN A PRIVATE HOSPITAL BUT WITH COMPLIANCE [HOURLY] WITH WHAT I RECOMMEND THEM, BYE ICU, BYE FRESH FROZEN PLASMA TRANSFUSION .CAN BE MANAGED AT HOME. NEED NO BLOOD TRANSFUSION, NEED NOT SPEND LIKE 20K-25K.JUST NEEDS COMPLIANCE and PLATELET COUNT CHECK. CONTACT ME FOR DENGUE MANAGEMENT AT: 09054843612/ 09214326176-
