This document summarizes a study on platelet counts in patients with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) at a hospital from February to March 2015. The study examined platelet counts in 93 children, adolescents, and adults using a hematology analyzer. It found that the average platelet count was lowest in adolescents at 52,537/μl, followed by adults at 54,867/μl and children at 57,087/μl. Low platelet counts are a characteristic of DHF and identifying average counts can help establish diagnoses. The study concludes more should be done to prevent future DHF cases and additional examination types could help confirm diagnoses.

ABSTRACT
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a dangerous infectious diseases that
cause death in a short time. At patients DHF always experienced thrombocytopenia. Decreased platelet count is a guideline in establishing the diagnosis of DHF. Platelet normal value is 150.000 – 400.000/µl blood. Platelet count can describ the extent of the disease DHF. The main characteristics that stand out from patients with DHF were thrombocytopenia (platelets less than 100.000/µl). Thrombocytopenia is a simple criteria proposed by the WHO as a clinical diagnosis of DHF disease. Pletelet counts are usually still normal during the first 3 days. The purpose of the study to determine the average count of platelets of patients with DHF in childern, adolescents, and adults total 93 people. Descriptive research. DHF patient that the study sample was taken by purposive sampling. Platelet checked using a hematology analyzer. Of the result the average counts of platelet in children is 57.087/µl, adolescent is 52.537/µl, and adults 54.867/µl. Average the lowest count of platelet occurs in group of adolescents with platelet counts 52.537/µl. Perform servise more against DHF patients to prevent further cases of extraordinary events and for further research can add another type of examination that further comfirm the diagnosis of DHF.
