The dengue pandemic has caused significant death. There is usually only supportive care offered and no effective therapy. The purpose of the study was assess any effect on the level of serum ferritin in patients of dengue. Methodology: This was an observational, Prospective study conducted at Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education and Research General Medicine department among dengue fever cases. Result: Serum ferritin level from on admission then on day 3 and then day 5 in non-severe and severe dengue cases showed p value <0.001 which was statically significant. Conclusion: The use of a serum ferritin level alone with a cut-off value of more than 900 ng/ml is indicated.en_US
