Quick Bites. In a tourniquet test for dengue, the blood capillaries are examined for their ability to withstand increased pressure. This gives a good indication for assessing the blood vessels and whether it will lead to Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) or Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF).
Other symptoms of dengue fever include a decrease in the number of white blood cells and a low level of platelets in the blood. Patients with dengue fever may have skin hemorrhages (bleeding under the surface of the skin) that appear as red or purple spots on the body.
