Short Answer
No. Most dengue patients recover without platelet transfusions.
Detailed Explanation
A common myth is that every dengue patient needs platelets. In reality, many patients recover naturally with proper medical care and monitoring.
Doctors recommend platelet transfusions only when there is significant bleeding or other specific medical indications according to clinical guidelines.
Unnecessary transfusions should be avoided.
