ABSTRACT
Introduction: Dengue fever is the disease transmitted by arthropods that causes the greatest morbidity and mortality. Objective: To identify possible relationships between signs, symptoms and the alteration of hemochemical parameters in patients diagnosed with dengue. Methods: A descriptive observational study was carried out on patients admitted with suspected Dengue in the Dr. Ambrosio Grillo Portuondo Surgical Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, during the period January-December 2015. The universe consisted of 1 529 patients of both sexes positive to this disease. The clinical histories were reviewed and the following variables were taken into account: age, sex, signs, symptoms of the disease, hemochemical parameters and chronic noncommunicable diseases associated with the level of platelets. Results: The female sex predominated in the sample and the most frequent symptoms were fever and headache. In the haemochemical parameters altered by sex, there was a female predominance of leukopenia and a male predominance of lymphocytosis and increased transaminases. There was a decrease in the platelet count from the third day, with a low count predominating. Conclusions: Dengue is a disease that is usually of sudden onset, although with a wide range in terms of clinical manifestations, it affects various hemochemical parameters, such as the global count of leukocytes and platelets that are included within the diagnostic criteria of this infection.REFERENCES
