- Abstract
This article explores the use of ultrasonography in diagnosing dengue fever, a prevalent disease in tropical regions like India. The study found that ultrasound can identify specific findings such as gallbladder wall thickening, pleural effusion, ascites, and organomegaly, which can aid in early diagnosis. The most common ultrasound findings in patients with dengue fever were thickened gall bladder wall, pericholecystic fluid, and pleural effusion. The study also found a significant association between ultrasound findings and bleeding manifestations, narrow pulse pressure, rise in hematocrit, and thrombocytopenia. These findings have implications for the diagnosis and management of dengue fever.
