Hi thanks for asking question.
For confirmation of dengue IG M detection along with CBC for platelet count done.
CBC for MP also done to rule put malaria.
Rapid card detection also can be used for malaria diagnosis.
If CBC showing leukocytosis with high neutrophil count then bacterial infection is the cause.
If lymphocytosis present viral etiology is there.
For viral fever symptomatic management done.
For bacterial infection antibiotic needed.
