Abstract
Background: Dengue fever when there is increased platelet consumption and destruction, the immature platelet fraction (IPF) is elevated. Marrow failure results in a decrease in it. The timing of platelet recovery can be predicted by the IPF%. After an IPF rise, the platelet recovery period is one to two days. It is yet unknown what the cut-off threshold is above which platelet recovery is anticipated. The aim of this study was to evaluate IPF for platelet recovery in dengue patients
