Differentiating Undifferentiated Fever: Comparative Analysis of Blood Count Profile and Clinical Features in Tropical Hospital
Abstract: Aim: A study on complete blood count profile and clinical features in undifferentiated fever of short duration in our Hospital. Objectives: 1. To knows and compares complete blood count profile (TC, DC, Platelet and Hemoglobin) and clinical findings between undifferentiated fever of short duration commonly seen in our hospital. MATERIALS AND Method: In our Hospital based cross sectional study of 2 year duration in all hospitalized patients with fever duration less than 21 days with no localizing signs and as per the inclusion criteria were considered and detailed history, clinical examination and CBC was done for the patients included in the study as per the inclusion criteria. Among those, 80 malaria cases (thick and thin smear +), 68 Dengue fever (IgM ELISA+), 20 Enteric fever (blood culture +), 20 Leptospirosis (IgM ELISA positive) and 12 Rickettsial fever (scrub typhus) by Weil felix initially and diagnosis is confirmed by IgM ELISA were segregated from the group to make a sample size of 200.
