Hi, thanks for the query. Dengue is of four type and lab test confirm whether pt have dengue or not . Normal count of platelets are 150,000 - 450,000. Mere decrease of platelets count is not an indication of dengue.

Thrombocytopenic purpura and thrombocytopenia are two diseases where there is increase, decrease amount of platelets ,these are blood disorders and usually in mild form, so don't bother about these. Deflazacort is a steroid and doses varies from 6-30 mg /day according to the condition of patient. In your case you can take defcort 6mg for 5-6 day, it will not harm, but long term use of steroids are dangerous so be cautious. Good luck for speedy recovery.

Treatment 
Treatment for ITP is different for children and adults. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Most children recover from ITP without any intervention or treatment. However, your doctor may recommend the following treatments:

Medications
Prednisone is a steroid treatment. Steroids help treat ITP by lowering the activity of the immune system, thus keeping it from destroying platelets.

Gamma globulin infusions are an antibody-containing protein that slows down platelet destruction. An infusion means that gamma globulin is given intravenously, or through a shot. It usually works more quickly than steroid medication.
