Abstract

Dengue is the most serious viral infection in recent years, resulting in major morbititesand mortality. This was a hospital based comparative study done from July – August2019. The purpose of this study was to estimate the hematological parameters and liverenzymes in dengue patients which could help to detect the severity of the
disease andintervene early. Participants included 75 cases and 75 healthy controls. Hemoglobin,WBC count, Platelet count along with SGOT and SGPT levels were analysed. Our studyshowed elevated SGOT AND SGPT levels of which SGOT is more elevated .WBC andplatelet count were reduced and showed negative correlation with
SGOT and SGPTvalues.Hence thisstudyshowedliver enzymesget affected by dengue and also itssever ity can beassessed by knowing hematological parameters which aids in early intervention and initiatethetreatment sooner.
