Severe dengue fever (SDF) is a potentially fatal disorder with bleeding being a common cause of mortality. Bleeding is generally secondary to thrombocytopenia, which is a common finding in patients with SDF. Intravenous anti-D is an approved therapeutic option in improving platelet counts in the management of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). It has also been tried in patients with SDF for improving thrombocytopenia. Here we report a series of eight patients with SDF who showed remarkable improvement after administration of anti-D.
