Dengue fever is one of the most rampant epidemics in India of late and any therapy that may help limit the sickness and hospital admissions is worth considering. In India complementary and alternative medicine physicians are medically trained and hence have a role to play in delivery of public health. We present a retrospective case series of 10 Indian patients who were diagnosed with dengue fever and treated exclusively with homeopathic remedies at Bangalore, India. This case series demonstrates with evidence of laboratory reports that even when the platelets dropped considerably there was good result without resorting to any other means. A need for further, larger studies is indicated by this evidence, to precisely define the role of homeopathy in treating dengue fever. This study also emphasises the importance of individualised treatment during an epidemic for favourable results with homeopathy. DF: dengue fever, NS1: non-structural protein 1 antigen, IgG: immunoglobulin G, IgM: immunoglobulin M, +ve: positive, -ve: negative, WBC: white blood cells, RBC: red blood cells, ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
登革热是近期印度最猖獗的流行病之一，任何有助于限制疾病发生和减少住院人数的治疗方法都值得考虑。在印度，补充和替代医学医生接受过医学培训，因此在公共卫生服务中可以发挥作用。我们展示了一个回顾性病例系列，涉及10名在印度班加罗尔被诊断为登革热且仅接受顺势疗法治疗的患者。该病例系列通过实验室报告证明，即使血小板大幅下降，不采取任何其他手段也能取得良好效果。这一证据表明需要进一步开展更大规模的研究，以准确界定顺势疗法在治疗登革热中的作用。这项研究还强调了在疫情期间进行个体化治疗对于顺势疗法取得良好效果的重要性。DF：登革热，NS1：非结构蛋白1抗原，IgG：免疫球蛋白G，IgM：免疫球蛋白M，+ve：阳性，-ve：阴性，WBC：白细胞，RBC：红细胞，ESR：红细胞沉降率
