If a patient suspected to be having dengue has reduced platelets or an increase in blood haematocrit, then the patient has probable dengue. These additional findings makes dengue more likely. Patients with dengue may not have a high haematocrit if the person was anaemic to start with. (Platelets are cells in blood that help to stop bleeding. Haematocrit indicates the thickness of blood).
