Sign and Symptomps

Laboratory

DHF without plasma leakage

I

Fever with non-specific constitutional

symptoms; the only hemorrhagic
manifestation is a positive tourniquet
test &/or easy bruising
evidence of plasma leakage

II

DHF grade I plus spontaneous bleeding

III

Circulatory failure manifested by a

rapid, weak pulse, narrowing of pulse
pressure, or hypotension, cold &
clammy skin, restlessness

IV

Profound shock with undetectable blood

pressure

Thrombocytope
