dengue drama in real life

The patient's platelet is now 6 only from a normal of 120. We have consumed 6 packs of platelet concentrate. We have requested for 4 more packs. But we don't have any bleeding from the nose, mouth or anywhere. The patient is weak with rashes coming out from his legs and arms; signs of impending hemorrhage. Urine color is normal . We are hydrating the patient to the max to prevent hyper-concentration of  his blood which occurs in DENGUE patients causing renal failure; one of the causes of death.
