The resulted effect is increased vascular permeability and lead to capillary leak syndrome. Material and Method: 30 dengue patient whose platelet was below one lakh were taken in this study.Regular monitoring of platelet and daily USG screening were the tool of this study.Results:Out of 30 patient 25 patient had sign of capillary leak .Conclusion :Capillary leak syndrome seen in severe dengue and inversely related to platelet count.
