Laboratory hematological and biochemical studies on dengue

Abstract

Dengue is a single disease with different levels of clinical expression in each patient. In Cuba, there is a permanent risk of contracting the disease caused by this virus. The early determination of the patient’s future evolution is a vital task and a challenge; and it is with the help of the clinical laboratory that this objective can be met. From the early days of the onset of symptoms, it is very important to conduct serial and evolutionary analysis. The identification of laboratory data of greatest risk is essential for a more efficient approach to this problem and to define, from the initial moments of the disease, what would be the patient's evolution.
