    Dengue is a febrile viral disease transmitted by the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. It is one of the most common tropical diseases and a serious public health problem worldwide. Patients with dengue begin as asymptomatic until they show signs such as high fever, general discomfort, rash on upper and lower limbs, and it can progress to severe hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome if not detected and treated timely. Diagnosis is made through laboratory tests using screening techniques such as rapid immunochromatographic methods, ELISA to detect IgM, IgG, NS1 antigen, and molecular methods like PCR for confirmation. However, the effectiveness of treatment and monitoring of the disease is subject to periodic laboratory test evaluations, including a complete blood count, where parameters tend to be altered, such as thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, presence of atypical lymphocytes, elevated hematocrit, and hemoglobin concentration. It also allows for calculating indices to evaluate the systemic inflammatory response to different diseases.
