hospital between May 2009 and May 2010. Methods:The study was prospective and hospital-based. Results:The most common presentation was Fever (100%) followed by headache (56%), myalgia (42%), joint pain (36%), rash (26%), Jaundice (6%), respiratory distress (4%), CNS symptoms (4%) and hemorrhagic manifestations (36%). Dengue fever was the most common manifestation (56%), DHF is lesser (36%), and DSS is least (8%).

The disease characterized by clinical manifestations like high fever; joint pain, hemorrhagic phenomena, often with hepatomegaly and in severe cases signs of circulatory failure \hyperref[b1]{2} .\par Dengue fever is endemic in areas of Southeast Asia, i.e., India, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Maldives and Thailand \hyperref[b3]{4} . During an epidemic of dengue, attack rates among susceptible are 40-90\%. Case fatality rates in endemic countries are 2.5 to 5\% \hyperref[b4]{5} . A major outbreak of dengue-like illness in India is reported in 1956 from Vellore Tamilnadu 3 and since then in various parts of the country, i.e., Kolkata (1964) and Vishakhapatnam {\ref 6 (1965)}.\par The present study attempts to describe the salient clinical and laboratory findings of serologically confirmed hospitalized cases of dengue fever during the study period in the adult population. \section[{II.}]{II.} \section[{Materials and Methods}]{Materials and Methods}\par The study conducted at the upgraded department of medicine, Osmania General Hospital Hyderabad. It included 100 patients presenting with Dengue fever and tested positive for IgM dengue antibodies during October 2009 to October 2011.\par Only those patients with classical features of Dengue, i.e., fever with chills, body aches, rash bleeding manifestations and positive IgM ELISA test included in the study. Seronegative patients for dengue and patients with other causes and those aged less than 12 years excluded from the study. The diagnosis of Dengue fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic fever and, Dengue shock syndrome based on WHO criteria. \section[{Results}]{Results}\par A total of 100 patient admitted to hospital between October 2009 to October 2011 were studied and statistically analyzed. Most cases occur during August, September, and November, i.e., in the monsoon and post monsoon season. Majority of the cases were males 66\% and Females 34\%, which accounts for a ratio of Male: Female of 1.9:1. Distribution of age group is between 14 to 69 years most common being the third decade. Fever was the most common symptom (100\%) followed by Headache (56\%), Myalgia (44\%), Bleeding (40\%), Jaundice (6\%) and CNS symptoms (4\%). Hemorrhagic manifestations included petechiae, rash, ecchymosis (2.6\%), bleeding gums (16\%), bleeding from puncture sites (24\%), Hematuria (4\%), Malaena and Hematemesis (2\%). Complications occurred in 22\% among which (4\%), had ARDS, (22\%) had pleural effusion, (6\%) had Pneumonia, and (6\%) had a multiorgan failure. Deaths reported were 4\%.\par IV. \section[{Discussion}]{Discussion}\par Our study describes the clinical profile, laboratory features and outcome of DF, DHF, and DSS in adult patients.\par The common age of patients was 30-39 with a range of 14 to 69 Years comparable to other studies, i.e., Priyadharshini et al7 and Neeraja et al8. The disease shows seasonal distribution, more during months from August to November similar to Ashwini Kumar et al9 (2008).\par Dengue illness in our study manifested as DF (56\%), DHF (36\%), and DSS (4\%). A study by Malavige et al10 showed high number of DHF cases.\par The mean Hematocrit value of Dengue positive cases was 34.2 ± 5. In DHF and DSS, an increase in Hematocrit levels is noted.\par In this study, 10\% of patients had platelet count less than 10,000. 86\% had platelet counts between 10,000 to 1 lakh and 4\% had platelet count more than 1 lakh. Similar observations found in a study by Rachel Daniel et al11 and Khan et al12.\par Out of 100 patients, 96\% recovered, and mortality seen in 4\% of patients. \section[{Conclusion}]{Conclusion}\par Dengue is one of the emerging infectious diseases in the recent years, and our study highlights the pattern of presentation of disease in correlation with laboratory parameters, complications and disease outcomes.\begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{1}\includegraphics[]{image-2.png} \caption{\label{fig_0}Fig. 1 :}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{}\includegraphics[]{image-3.png} \caption{\label{figure3}}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{1} \par \begin{longtable}{P{0.4593314763231197\textwidth}P{0.04972144846796657\textwidth}P{0.09233983286908078\textwidth}P{0.03788300835654596\textwidth}P{0.06866295264623955\textwidth}P{0.14206128133704735\textwidth}} \tabcellsep \tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{No. of Patients}\tabcellsep \tabcellsep \\ Investigations\tabcellsep DF\tabcellsep DHF\tabcellsep DSS\tabcellsep Total\tabcellsep Percentage\\ Hb<12 gm\%\tabcellsep 10\tabcellsep 8\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 22\tabcellsep 22\%\\ Hb 12-14 gm\%\tabcellsep 22\tabcellsep 16\tabcellsep 2\tabcellsep 40\tabcellsep 40\%\\ Hb>14 gm\%\tabcellsep 24\tabcellsep 12\tabcellsep 2\tabcellsep 38\tabcellsep 38\%\\ TLC 4000-11,000\tabcellsep 30\tabcellsep 14\tabcellsep 2\tabcellsep 46\tabcellsep 46\%\\ TLC>11,000\tabcellsep 6\tabcellsep 8\tabcellsep 2\tabcellsep 16\tabcellsep 16\%\\ TLC<4,000\tabcellsep 20\tabcellsep 14\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 38\tabcellsep 38\%\\ SGOT>45\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 12\tabcellsep 6\tabcellsep 22\tabcellsep 22\%\\ SGPT>45\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 10\tabcellsep 6\tabcellsep 20\tabcellsep 20\%\\ Bilirubin>2\tabcellsep 0\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 2\tabcellsep 6\tabcellsep 6\%\\ Hematocrit>45\tabcellsep 2\tabcellsep 18\tabcellsep 6\tabcellsep 26\tabcellsep 26\%\\ Platelets<10,000/cu mm\tabcellsep 0\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 6\tabcellsep 10\tabcellsep 10\%\\ Platelets 10,000-1 lakh/cu mm\tabcellsep 52\tabcellsep 32\tabcellsep 2\tabcellsep 86\tabcellsep 86\%\\ Platelets>1,00,000/cu mm\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 0\tabcellsep 0\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 4\%\end{longtable} \par {\small\itshape [Note: Fig. 2: Association of platelet count with positive dengue cases III.]} \caption{\label{tab_0}Table 1 :}\end{figure} \backmatter \begin{bibitemlist}{1} \bibitem[ Kasturba Medical College]{b8}\label{b8} \textit{}, \textit{Kasturba Medical College} Ashwini Kumar et al Department of Community Medicine \bibitem[N.
