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 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.


Which animals have dengue fever?

Dengue fever primarily affects humans and is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. There is no evidence to suggest that animals can contract dengue fever.

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.

If a person had dengue can he donate blood?

Platelet transfusions may be required in patients with Dengue Fever. If platelet counts drop sufficiently and/or fever inactivates circulating platelets, excessive bleeding may require administration of red cells to maintain adequate hematocrit.
