How is dengue detected in blood?(a) Low level of RBCs(b) Low level of WBCs(c) Low level of Platelets(d) Low level of fibrinI have been asked this question in an interview for job.I'd like to ask this question from Collection of Blood in Pathology in section Pathology of Clinical Science

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Low level of PLATELETS

To explain I would say: While dengue expresses itself in the form of fever, the sure TEST for dengue is the REDUCTION in the number of platelets. The loss of platelets reduces the blood clotting capacity. When a person suffers from external injury the BLEEDING does not stop easily. When there is a severe reduction of platelets, the person MAY suffer from internal bleeding and die.
