Abstract
Background: Thrombocytopenia, which signifies a low platelet count usually below 150 × 109/L, is a common finding following or during many viral infections. Viral infection innate and adapt immune response where platelets play a passive role in antiviral activity. The patients with viral infection are at risk of developing decreased platelet count and develop the chance of bleeding. The present study designed to find the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in patients with viral infection.
Materials and Methods : A descriptive cross section survey design used to identify the prevalence rate of thrombocytopenia in patients with viral infection in India the cities studied are Lakhimpur 960 patients, Panipat 1345 patients, Sonipat 1357 patients, Gohana 758 patients, Delhi 1165 patients, a total 5585 patients diagnosed with viral infection samples were selected of which 395 patients developed thrombocytopenia, the samples were analyzed at various selected diagnostic centers.
Results : The present study found that in Lakhimpur for 960 patients with viral infection 48 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Panipat for 1345 patients with viral infection 118 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Sonipat for 1357 patients with viral infection 85 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Gohana for 758 patients with viral infection 49 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia and in Delhi for 1165 patients with viral infection 95 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia respectively. The overall prevalence of thrombocytopenia among patients with viral infection is 7.07%.
Conclusion: Viral infection caused due to any virus triggers the immune response where in platelets act as passive bystanders during viral infection, the knowledge of viral infection and better management of infection bring down the thrombolytes and cause thrombocytopenia. The present study identified the prevalence of the thrombocytopenia among patients with viral infection.
