OBJECTIVES:
This study aims to evaluate the clinical and laboratory profile of dengue patients attending the teaching hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan.
METHODOLOGY:
Patients from different regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with suspected DF infection admitted at Khyber Teaching Hospital and Kuwait Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from October 2017 to January 2018 were included in this study. A total of 50 patients both males and females were included. Hematology Analyzer Sysmex X21 for Complete Blood Count (CBC), COBAS 501 for Chemical Analysis and Immunochromatographic Diagnostic Test (ICT) kits were used in this study. Inform consent was taken from the patients and debriefed. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS version 22.
RESULTS:
Seventy four Percent dengue patients were suffering from dengue fever (DF) followed by 24% of patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and only 02% with dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Most of the patients with abnormal blood chemistry.
CONCLUSION:
Our findings suggest that these patients have mild to moderate form of Dengue Fever and severity was observed in only few cases.
