Indian Journal of Medical Sciences. 2010 Feb; 64(2) 90-93.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/145491Prolonged thrombocytopenia in a usual case of dengue virus infection is uncommon. Dengue-related thrombocytopenia is self-limiting and responds within 3-5 days. An underlying immunological disorder may be responsible for delayed return of platelet count to a normal level. We present a case of prolonged thrombocytopenia in a case of dengue hemorrhagic fever. The response to steroids suggests a possible immunological dysfunction.enDengue hemorrhagic feverthrombocytopeniaAdultDengue Hemorrhagic Fever --complicationsDengue Hemorrhagic Fever --epidemiologyDengue Hemorrhagic Fever --immunologyFemaleHumansSteroids --immunologySteroids --pharmacokineticsThrombocytopenia --epidemiologyThrombocytopenia --immunologyArticle
