Question- What is the role of platelet count in dengue?

Answer dengue becomes more serious when the platelet count in the blood of the sick person starts decreasing significantly.

 

Platelets are called clotting cells. In such a situation, if your platelet count level is already low, then you can get infected with dengue sooner than others.
