About Dengue Fever Symptoms, Platelet Count Monitoring & Tests with Healthians
Transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, dengue fever is an acute viral disease that causes severe symptoms nicknamed 'breakbone fever'. Understanding the 3 distinct phases of dengue—febrile, critical, and recovery—and diligently tracking blood platelet counts can save lives.
- Febrile Phase (Days 1-5): Sudden high fever (103°F-105°F), retro-orbital eye pain, severe joint and back pain. Test with Dengue NS1 Antigen
- Critical Phase (Days 3-7): Fever drops, but capillary plasma leakage can occur. Daily CBC Platelet Count monitoring is essential
- Platelet drop: Platelets under 100,000 require close physician monitoring. Under 20,000 requires hospitalization and possible transfusion
- Severe warning signs: Persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, gum or nose bleeding, extreme lethargy, and black stools
- Hydration is key: Drink plenty of ORS, coconut water, and soups to maintain plasma volume
