Dengue fever is a public health problem and it is emerging in tropical and sub-tropical countries like India and it is also potentially a fatal illness which hampers the quality of life. Dengue is more prevalent, fastest spreading disease which is kind of serious concern worldwide at the moment. Objective of the study was to observe the improvement in clinical features (signs and symptoms) and improvement in platelet count among Dengue cases. In this case series, five clinically diagnosed cases of Dengue were prescribed Ayurvedic treatment. All were evaluated on 3rd, 5th and 7th day of treatment. The rural population in certain districts of Maharashtra still does not have full access to the timely diagnosis and management of acute and debilitating febrile illnesses like Dengue. As all these identified patients were relatively stable and there was no significant hemodynamic compromise observed, it was decided to start them on Ayurvedic preparations. The duration of treatment was seven days. All five patients were closely monitored. This comprehensive intervention with the help of Protocol in Ayurveda showed favorable outcome and all the five patients recovered completely without any complication.
