Abstract
The fastest-spreading viral disease in the world is dengue contamination, which is spread by mosquitoes. Carica papaya leaf juice aids in raising the platelet count, and it occurs primarily in tropical and subtropical countries. The primary goal of this study is to inform medical experts about the use of Carica papaya leaf extract formulations (SYRUP) to treat dengue fever, a potentially fatal illness. Approach: To cure this illness, a water extract was prepared using a certain amount of Carica papaya leaf. The numerous pharmacological characteristics of the chemical components found in Carica papaya leaf extract were shown to be stable after treating the elevated dengue fever. This indicates that Carica papaya leaf extracts are a herbal method of treating dengue fever. We concluded that caricapa payalea extract can be used to treat dengue fever, which can raise the platelets in patients with the illness. It is also one of the simplest and least expensive ways to cure dengue fever, and it helps treat illness without causing any negative side effects.
Keywords: Carica papaya, extract, dengue, platelets count, novel formulation.
