Gall Bladder Wall Thickening in Dengue Fever - Aid in Labelling Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and a Marker of Severity.

Introduction Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease spread by the bite of the  mosquito. Dengue epidemics have contributed to a great economic burden, especially in South-East Asia. This study aimed to determine gall bladder wall thickness (GBWT) in patients with dengue fever, assess its sensitivity and specificity to identify dengue hemorrhagic fever, and also compare gall bladder wall thickening (GWBT) with platelets, hematocrit, and leucocyte count.
