Categorización del riesgo Trombocitopénico en pacientes con dengue que acudieron al Hospital General Puyo en el año 2021

Abstract

The main objective of this research study was to categorize the thrombocytopenic risk in patients with dengue who attended the Hospital General Puyo in the year 2021. The main health problem caused by arbovirus is the infection by the dengue virus whose affectation is reflected in the labor and economic field due to its easy propagation. The methodology was framed in a qualiquantitative approach, descriptive, explanatory, and correlational modality based on documentary, bibliographic, and field research. Thus, research instruments such as surveys and medical records of patients admitted to the hospital center in question, resulted that 66% of the population infected by dengue, developing thrombocytopenia. It should be noted that the incidence of the infection occurred in the female gender corresponding to 61.1% of the total infected population, this association is affirmed because the transmitting vector is characterized by having a domestic habitat. In addition, it was concluded that platelets are intimately related to the classification of the types of dengue, framing that the more severe the type of dengue, the greater the risk of bleeding due to thrombocytopenia. It was also determined that depending on the clinical manifestations presented, the condition of the disease can worsen, triggering systemic liver damage, bleeding, and multiple complications. Therefore, it was recommended to provide useful information for the early identification of signs and symptoms that may develop in dengue disease, as well as to conduct informative talks to the community to promote prevention strategies for the virus, since the virus can spread more quickly due to lack of knowledge of the people.
