Viral pyrexia with thrombocytopenia after periodontal flap surgery

Viral fever with thrombocytopenia is an insidious cause of postoperative hemorrhage. Timely diagnosis and prompt treatment of this disorder will ensure minimal morbidity and mortality. The present study reported the case of a 19-year-old male with postoperative viral pyrexia with thrombocytopenia following a periodontal flap procedure and its management. The present case study demonstrates the significance of a rigid follow-up routine even after minor surgery. Clinicians must be aware of the optimal diagnosis and treatment for pyrexia with thrombocytopenia.
