Patients in between 18 to 60 years of age. 3. Patients will be diagnosed on the basis of symptoms and laboratory investigations.
Sample Size: Sample size calculated by Daniel’s formula. Prevalence rate of Dengue fever is 38.3 out of 100.
Daniel’s formula-
Sample size (n)= Z2 p(1-p)/e2
Where n = Sample Size
z= Level of Signification (1.96)
p = Prevalence Rate (0.383)
e = Standard Error (5%)
n = (1.96)2 x 0.383(1-0.383) ÷ (0.5) 2 n=2
But there is no statistical analysis on the basis of 2 sample size so 60 will be taken as sample size and divided into two groups.
Assessment will be done on the basis of following criteria’s:
A) Subjective Criteria: 1.Gradation of Vomiting 2.Gradation of Abdominal pain 3.Gradation of Arthralgia 4.Gradation of Petechiae/Rash
B) Objective Criteria: 1.Gradation of Fever (Temperature using Thermometer) 2.Gradation of Thrombocytopenia (from CBC Report) 3.Gradation of Leucopenia(from CBC Report) 4.Tourniquet Test.
