LETTER TO THE EDITOR, COMMENT ON ARTICLE: Apropos: Effects of papaya leaves on thrombocyte counts in dengue — a case report

Madam, we compliment the team of investigators at the Sunset Poly Clinic in Karachi, Pakistan for their management of Dengue virus (DENV) associated thrombocytopenia in the 23 year-old male by the five day recipe of Circa papaya leaves extract.1We agree further well controlled studies should be carried out to establish the beneficial effects of Circa papaya leaves extract in DENV patients presenting with primary and secondary infection.
