Why do platelets decreases during fever?
Platelets don't decrease during every kind of fever. It is decreased particularly in Dengue Fever. The major cause of low platelet count is the destruction of platelet mediated by the dengue virus or the antibodies that are secreted in response to virus infection. Also, during dengue is the suppression of bone marrow by the dengue virus (The bone-marrow is the site of the haematopoeisis, blood cells formation).
What become deficient in human body due to dengue fever?
Platelets
Dengue fever resuls in dip in the rbc count wbc count platelets count hemoglobin?
platelets
Where can outbreaks of dengue occur?
Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a skin rash. In a small proportion of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.
Dengue fever results in dip in the?
The number of platelets and amount of water. Losing the platelets will prevent normal clotting of the blood.
What is the result in CBC dengue cases?
The result in CBC (Complete Blood Count) of dengue cases typically shows a decrease in platelet count (thrombocytopenia), an increase in hematocrit (hemoconcentration), and a decrease in white blood cell count. These changes are important for diagnosing and managing dengue fever.
Dengue or hemorrhagic fever often causes internal bleeding the blood cells being attacked by the organism causing dengue are most probably the?
Aedes Mosquito
What organism acts as a vector to spread dengue fever?
A striped Aedes aegypti mosquito that has previously bitten an infected person. Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus.Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.
Is splenomegaly present in dengue fever?
Yes, it can. The viruses affects the production of platelets and the spleen is important in recycling the blood.
Why is it you need to watch for bleeding in dengue hemorrhagic fever?
Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever is a complication of Dengue Fever. It's name implies that is indeed a haemorrhagic fever which means the victim suffers from low platelet counts. Platelets are the small cell fragments in the body that serve to "close up" wounds, congealing into a mass that staunches bleeding. When these counts are low, the body is unable to close up tears in blood vessels which lead to fatal haemorrhage. This leads to dengue shock syndrome (DSS), which means that vital organs shut down from lack of oxygen and blood flow. These complications occur in less than 5% of all dengue fever cases, but at the first sign of such complications, immediate and total intervention is necessary.
What is the decrease of platelets in the circulatory system called?
Thrombocytopenia which occurs in multiple diseases such as Dengue Fever.
What is the part of that blood is attacked when you have dengue?
The platelets are destroyed. These are necessary for clotting. If they are too low, you can hemorrhage to death.
