Abstract

This study is to determine whether ultrasound is an important adjuvant to clinical and laboratory profile: to predict prognosis and assessing severity of disease with platelet correlation. ultrasonic variations seen in various age groups were  studied. we conducted  a prospective study in seriologically positive 115 cases  of dengue fever between  June and December 2015 were refered for  USG  abdomen  and USG thorax.

KEYWORDS: Dengue fever, ultrasound, ascities, gall bladder odema, pleural effusion.
