Abstract

Background: Dengue is a common human infection spread by mosquitoes, this analysis was carried out to assess the occurrence of Dengue Fever in the district of Hyderabad to evaluate the clinical and hematological aspects.

Materials &Methods: From August 2024 to December 2024, the research was conducted on 120 patients, suffering from dengue fever, confirmed by NS1 antigen positive. Complete blood counts were also done. A detailed history was taken.

Results: Out of these total cases of dengue, 72 cases (60%) were males and 48 (40%) were females. According to age, maximum cases 68 (56.66%) were in 21-40 years. The age range was 13–75 years, and children had a lower infection rate.

Conclusion: Fever is most common symptoms appear in all patients. Leucopenia was the second most common outcome, found in 61.66% of patients, while thrombocytopenia was the most common finding, occurring in 67.5% of cases.
