Determinación de la Curva de Distribución Plaquetaria en Pacientes con Dengue y su Relación con el Tipo de Dengue

Abstract

Dengue fever is a viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes more quickly spread worldwide. The dengue fever (DF), with their severe manifestations as the hemorrhagic fever of dengue (DHF) and dengue (DSS) shock syndrome has become a major national and international public health problem. Thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage are common dengue fever complications, therefore, in addition to platelet counts, there is a need to evaluate the average volume of the same, to determine the platelet in patients with dengue distribution curve and its relation with the type of dengue, the present study was conducted in the IESS Ancon basic Hospital located in the province of Santa Elena in order to find a predictive factor that will help for the diagnosis of the disease, is as well as is takes on has to the curve of distribution platelet for the identification of the virus. Analyses were performed to 171 patients with and without the disease, where it was noted that the plateletcrit is a timely marker that helps with the diagnosis of this pathology, a value <0,19 is more likely that a patient has dengue hemorrhagic fever.
