Haematological Parameters, Biochemical Parameters and Inflammatory Markers in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients Suffering from Dengue Fever: A Descriptive Analytical Study
Abstract: Background: The viral disease dengue fever is highly prevalent in tropical regions. Dengue causes characteristic hematological, biochemical and inflammatory markers abnormalities during acute infection. The presence of diabetes mellitus may modify these laboratory patterns through underlying metabolic and endothelial dysfunction. Objectives: To compare haematological, biochemical and inflammatory markers between dengue patients with and without diabetes mellitus and assess whether diabetes is associated with distinct laboratory abnormalities during dengue infection. Methods: This descriptive analytical study was conducted in the Department of General Medicine at Little flower Hospital and Research Centre Hospital, Angamaly, over a period of 10 months . A total of 50 confirmed dengue patients (25 diabetics and 25 non-diabetics) were included. Hematological indices (glycated haemoglobin (HBA1C), hemoglobin (Hb), total leucocyte count (TLC), lymphocyte count, neutrophil level, eosinophil level, monocyte count, platelet count ), biochemical parameters (serum creatinine, blood urea, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum bilirubin, serum albumin) and Inflammatory markers (C-Reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)) were measured at presentation. Diabetes mellitus was defined by previous diagnosis or HbA1c ? 6.5%. Statistical comparisons were made using the t-test with p
