Hematological and coagulation profile of dengue infection in age group 1 to 12 years children in a tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue is an arboviral infection of public health problems in tropical and sub-tropical countries transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito of the Stegomyia family. It varies in severity, ranging from influenza-like self-limiting illness to life- threatening, which if left untreated, are associated with mortality as high as 20%.
Objectives: Find out hematological and coagulation profile in dengue infected children aged 1 to 12 years and association of hematological and coagulation profile with dengue severity.
Materials and Methods: It is an Observational Cross- sectional study done on 100 dengue patients aged 1 to 12 years during the study period from March 2019 –February 2020.
