A team of 12 researchers, including Dr Mousumi Sanyal of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Prof AHM Nurun Nabi of Dhaka University’s Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department, carried out the test. People scramble in search of blood as platelet count drops because of dengue,” Prof Nurun Nabi told bdnews24.com. “When a helpless patient could not manage blood at such a time, Dhaka Medical College’s Dr Mousumi used Eltrombopag to save him. The experiment brought in patients from Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Better Life Hospital and AMZ Hospital. “The aim of our experiment is to stop everyone from rushing for blood so that all dengue patients get good results by using this medicine.”
