Clinical and Laboratory Predictors of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in a Resource-Limited Setting: A Prospective Observational Study From Sri Lanka
Comorbidities, living conditions, and physical activity levels appear to be associated with the development of DHF. A reduction of over 25% in platelet and WBC counts and a rise of more than 50% in ALT compared to the previous day's values may help in the early detection of DHF.
