Immature Platelet Fraction and Platelet Recovery in Adults With Dengue Fever: A Prospective Hospital-Based Study
Keywords:
dengue fever; immature platelet fraction; thrombocytopenia; platelet recovery; thrombopoiesis; platelet count.Abstract
Background: Thrombocytopenia is a commonhematologic manifestation of dengue fever and istypically monitored by serial platelet counts.Platelet count alone, however, is not a directmeasurement of the rate of marrowthrombopoiesis. The immature platelet fraction(IPF) is a measure of newly released reticulatedplatelets and may provide information regardingplatelet production and recovery
