The transition season is closely related to infectious diseases with its main complaint is fever. Early detection is very important to reduce the incidence of complications. Laboratory examinations are needed to help enforce the initial diagnosis, among others:
1. Laboratory examination:

▪︎ Routine Hematology Examination
Hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocytes and platelets are needed to monitor the disease. In the DBD case obtained thrombocytopenia (platelet levels <100,000 / mm3, hematocrit increased> 20%), leukopenia (leukocyte levels <4500 / mm3).
▪︎ Examination of Non Structural Antigen 1 (NS1)
is an examination to detect the body parts of the dengue virus itself. Due to detecting the body parts of the virus and not waiting for the body's response to infection, this examination is carried out the best when it is hot to day 0 to the 4th day, that's why this examination can detect dengue viral infections even before a platelet decline.
▪︎ Anti DHF Rapid (IGG and IGM)
Serology examination to detect antibodies to dengue viral infections. Positive dengue antibodies as a sign of acute infection. Generally, the IgM antibodies will be detected around the 5-10 days of illness, IgG positive antibodies, as a sign that they have been infected with dengue in the past. IgG antibodies will be detected after the 7th day of illness.
▪︎ tubex examination
It is one of the procedures for the examination conducted to determine the possibility of salmonella typhi bacteria in the body. This bacterium is a type of bacteria that causes typhus aka typhoid fever.
▪︎ Faeces examination
Examination carried out in feces samples (dirt) to help diagnose certain conditions that affect the digestive tract. This condition can include infections (such as parasites, viruses, or bacteria), absorption of poor nutrition, or cancer. In the case of acute diarrhea can conduct this test to determine the diagnosis of the cause of diarrhea.
2. Non Laboratory Examination:

Thorax X-ray:
Examination uses electromagnetic wave radiation to display a picture of the inside of the chest. Through chest x-rays, can look heart description, lungs, respiratory tract, blood vessels and lymph nodes. If we experience ARI, can carry out chest x-ray checks to find out the cause of the ISPA itself whether infection or not.
