Abstract
- Introduction: Dengue Fever (DF) poses a critical public health threat in tropical regions, displaying a spectrum of manifestations without distinct diagnostic hallmarks. Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) are useful biomarkers of inflammation and prognostic markers in various diseases. The inflammation that occurs in dengue is due to the exaggerated response of the immune system. Aim: To assess the utility value of NLR and PLR as prognostic markers for dengue severity. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 99 admitted Dengue patients. Patients were grouped into three categories: DF, Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF), and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Various parameters of Complete Blood Count (CBC), NLR, and PLR were compared among the groups using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test (p-value
