KOLKATA: With a change in symptoms being noticed among patients, health experts feel that dengue is taking a different form this time.
While a significant drop in platelet count was seen among the infected during the previous outbreaks, such a trend is seen only in a handful of patients this time. Some are getting into shock syndrome abruptly and developing sepsis and multi-organ dysfunction.
While doctors are coming across manifestations like macrophage symptoms, which is a condition of acute inflammation due to either primary or secondary conditions, some are encountering conditions like cytokine storm capillary leakage.
