Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by dengue virus infection
characterized by continuous high fever for 2-7 days, thrombocytopenia,
leukocytopenia and the presence of blue plasma lymphocytes in peripheral blood
smears. This study aims to determine the number of platelets, leukocytes and blue
plasma lymphocytes in Dengue Infection patients at the PKM, East Jakarta. This
research is a descriptive analysis with a cross sectional approach. The data used in
this study were primary data using 40 samples of venous blood from DHF
patients. Samples were examined using a HemaCount 5D tool and peripheral
blood smears were prepared. Data analysis using Chi Square obtained p value =
0,204 on the number of platelets indicating that there was no significant
relationship between the duration of fever and the number of platelets. The results
of the study found that 37.5% thrombocytopenia and 57.5% leukopenia occurred
in DHF patients at the PKM, East Jakarta.
