Dengue Fever: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

Blood Transfusion

Blood transfusion is the procedure of transferring blood products or blood into the circulation intravenously. It is often used when you suffer from severe dehydration due to dengue fever. Depending on your condition, the doctor will use different blood components such as platelets, clotting factors, plasma, white blood cells, or red blood cells. It is a completely safe technique but requires a lot of planning in advance. It only takes a few hours to complete the process. After that, you might need a few days to recover. There might be some rare risks that affect overall health. That’s why your doctor only uses it when the issue gets extremely worse. [11]
