Abstract

Background:Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an acute viral infection caused by the dengue virus which is a health problem in Indonesia. Platelet and hematocrit examinations are still used as a guideline for determining the severity of DHF and treating infected patients dengue.

Objective:Knowing the correlation between the results of examination of platelet counts and hematocrit levels on the severity of dengue hemorrhagic fever patients.

Hematocrit levels showed a significant correlation with the severity of DHF with a weak correlation strength and a positive correlation (p = 0.039, r = 0.316).
