All the data like demographic, clinical and data related to hematological parameters was recorded on pre-designed Performa. The data was analyzed using SPSS 23.

There were 96 (67.8%) males and 46 (32.4%) females’ patients in NSDI group while there were 28 (73.7%) males and 10 (26.3%) females in SD1 group. Fever was observed in 138 (97.2%) patients in NSDI group and 38 (100%) patients in SDI group. Platelet transfusion was needed in 55 (38.7%) patients in NSDI group while it was needed in 26 (68.4%) patients in SDI group. The mean ±SD Platelet Count x 103mm3 was 39 ±52.5 in NSDI group and 31.5±67.6 in SDI group. The mean ±SD Lowest Platelet Count x 103 mm3 was 28±42 and 21.5± 17 in NSDI group and SDI group respectively. The mean ±SD HCT % was 40.8± 6.7 in NSDI group and 36.0± 12.1 in SDI group. The mean ±SD Leukocytes Count x 103 mm3 was 4400±5425 and 8050±9350 in NSDI group and SDI group respectively. Conclusion: The key to treating and predicting dengue as severe and non-severe cases is to be aware of clinical aspects as well as test results such hematological parameters.
