  Abstract: To investigate serum IFN-γ and IL8 titers, osmotic fragility and membrane cholesterol, and protein composition of erythrocytes of dengue fever patients. Seventy seven confirmed dengue patients along with 69 patients with other febrile infection (OFI) and 77 healthy controls (HC) were included in the study. The osmotic fragility of red blood cells was monitored using different concentrations of sodium chloride. The quantification of serum IFN-γ and IL-8 was carried out …
