Clinical Update Regarding Fever with Thrombocytopenia

Abstract

Introduction: Fever with Thrombocytopenia generally refers to the symptom of the extremely low count of platelets occurring in the blood of a patient bearing fever. Generally parasitic diseases like Malaria and Viral diseases like Dengue act as the reasons for such health adversities.

Objective: The study has mainly focused on evaluating the concept of Fever with thrombocytopenia along with the prevalence of the disease discussion. The regularised treatment processes that are gradually enhancing for preventing fever with thrombocytopenia are discussed.

Methodology: A prospective study design is used by excluding patients aged 17 and younger and having diseases like Cirrhosis of the liver and HIV. The simple random sampling method is used for choosing the 100 participants who have been admitted to the Medicine OPD of MMCH&RI during 2021 and 2022.

Results: The results noted 35 females and 65 males present in the study group. the results for positive diagnosis cases included dengue fever (50%), malaria (28%), leptospirosis (14%), enteric fever (8%) and scrub typhus (4%). The mean difference of platelet between gender illustrated to be not statistically significant. This was also the same case for diagnosis cases for dengue, malaria, and leptospirosis.

Conclusion: The following study noted hematological and demographic changes to be connected with thrombocytopenia onset development. The study concluded to deliver a contribution towards disease awareness along with aiding policymakers to note the causes and integrate appropriate policies for strengthening prevention programs.
