Hello
Thank you for getting in touch with us. As I see, you have been recovering from dengue in the last few days. As your bilirubin, SGPT and SGOT have been coming down in the last few days, it means that you are improving. You have not mentioned your platelet count correctly and that is hampering us from examining your case properly. Dengue in many cases causes elevated bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT etc and as the disease resolves, these values begin to fall down to normal. You need to keep a tab on your lab values for the next few months. Although relapse can occur, chances are not high. Maintain proper hygiene and wear protective clothing to protect yourself from dengue in the future. Hope this helps.
