Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is commonly transmitted through mosquitoes infected with the dengue virus.  The most feared infection of the dengue virus is bleeding. The risk of bleeding can be overcome by giving red guava juice to increase the patient's platelets. Red guava is classified as a fruit that has significant nutritional content, especially essential vitamins and minerals that play an important role in supporting the physiological functions of the body. The high vitamin C content in this fruit contributes to improving the body's immunity. Furthermore, vitamin C intake from red guava plays a role in stimulating the thrombopoiesis process, which is the formation of new blood platelets. This case study aims to describe the effectiveness of guava juice administration in Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever patients with Thrombocytopenia in Cendana I Room, Kardinah Tegal Hospital.
