The study on risk classification was conducted on 183 hospitalized dengue patients (4 DF, 179 DHF). The severity of the risk criteria was determined based on three blood investigations, namely, platelet (PLT) count (less than or equal to 30 000 cells per mm 3), haematocrit (HCT) (increase by more th...
