What effects does the virus posed on the body?
The dengue virus affects our platelet production. Our platelets in a human body can survive for about 4 days and is replenished when needed. However, when a person is being infected by an Aedes mosquito, a patient̢۪s platelet count will start to fall below our normal platelet count ( 1.0 Lakh/volume). If our platelet count falls below 50K, the patient can be in a very critical condition or may even cause death. When the platelet count falls, it inhibits the formation of clots which will result in internal and eternal bleeding (haemorrage). Once the bleeding begins, it may cause severe problems.
