CLINICALAND LABORATORY ANALYSIS OF HEMATOLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF DENGUE IN CONNECTION WITH THE OPS SCALE OF GRAVITYIN VIEDMA HOSPITAL. Rev. Méd.-Cient.

Background: Dengue is an acute viral disease caused by any of the four serotypes. While the disease can be characterized by the presence of abrupt onset of fever followed by muscle aches, headache, joint pains and maculpapular rash, or it can be an asymptomatic disease. Objective: It is to characterize the clinical-laboratory hematologic manifestations of dengue, according to the scale of gravity of the OPS, in patients diagnosed with dengue in the Viedma Hospital (HCV) in the period January to December 2009. Methods: A research, descriptive, retrospective, crosssectional study sample was limited to: Patients who were admitted to the Internal Medicine service of HCV with diagnosis of dengue in the period of study and fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Results: The clinical manifestations presented in 70% of patients with Dengue without warning signs were: petechiae and Loop test (+), 36% of patients with Dengue with warning signs had: Epistaxis and Loop test (+) and 66.67% of patients with severe dengue presented: Shock, epistaxis and gingival bleeding. Also, the blood disorder most commonly found was thrombocytopenia. Conclusions: It was concluded analyzing the behavior of hematologic disorders (taking them as arguments for a suspected diagnosis in conjunction with the presence of fever). The presence of fever plus two or more laboratory blood disorders, gives us a reason for a presumptive diagnosis of 66% for Dengue with warning signs and severe Dengue.
