Each person may have dengue fever four times in life. If you have dengue for the first time, that person may be infected three times more by the rest of the dengue virus, however, it is very rare to have the disease again the fourth time. If a person has dengue 2 times, the culprit is usually the other virus. As a result, two antibodies of different types of bacteria coexist in the human body, which aggravates the disease. Platelets are tiny cells in your blood that repair damaged blood vessels and stop bleeding after injuries. Having a higher or lower number of wbcs than normal may indicate an underlying condition. A wbc count can detect hidden infections within your body and alert doctors to undiagnosed medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies, and blood disorders. This test also helps us monitor the effectiveness of chemotherapy or radiation treatment in people with cancer.
