Dengue fever, a viral infection prevalent in various parts of India is a cause of widespread mortality and morbidity. In this study, attempt is made to co-relate the severity of Dengue fever with that of serum ferritin levels.
Aim: Correlation between severity of dengue fever and serum ferritin levels.
Methods: 50 patients with IgM +ve Dengue patients were selected. Their platelet count, SGOT, SGPT and serum ferritin levels on admission were measured.
Results: There is a strong co-relation between the severity of the disease and serum ferritin levels.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that Serum ferritin levels can be taken as a significant marker for assessing the severity of Dengue Fever.
