Study of Clinical and Etiological Profile of Acute Febrile Illness with Thrombocytopenia in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Ahmedabad

Acute Febrile Illness (AFI) with thrombocytopenia is a frequently encountered clinical presentation in tropical regions like India. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and etiological spectrum of AFI with thrombocytopenia and assess the correlation between platelet counts and disease severity. A total of 150 patients admitted between 2023?2024 were studied. Dengue and malaria were the most common causes. Thrombocytopenia severity correlated with complications such as bleeding and plasma leakage, especially in dengue. Early identification of etiology and severity markers helps guide targeted management and improve outcomes.
