‘Papaya leaf juice can help in recovery from dengue fever’

PETALING JAYA: Papaya leaf juice has been shown to increase blood platelet count and assist in the recovery of those with lesser complications, health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said.

“The damage from dengue infection could be more than a platelet count issue, such as blood plasma leakage or dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure could occur,” he said.
