Platelet Transfusion in Dengue

Practical Considerations

• A standard dose of platelets is 3-4 × 10^11 platelets (single apheresis unit or 4-6 pooled whole blood-derived concentrates) 2
• Ensure post-transfusion platelet count confirms adequate levels before proceeding with the procedure 1

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Not accounting for the risk of alloimmunization with repeated platelet transfusions 2
