Solution
The correct option is B Dengue Use of aspirin during dengue fever is not recommended owing to increased bleeding tendency. Aspirin has an antiplatelet effect by inhibiting the production of thromboxane, which under normal circumstances binds platelet molecules together to create a patch over damage of the walls within blood vessels. Hence drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen should be avoided as they may increase the risk of haemorrhage.
