Objective: To see the relationship between age and decreased platelets with dengue hemorrhagic fever. Method: This type of research is a cross sectional study design with sampling using accidental sampling obtained 82 respondents. Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between p-value for age 0.015, and there was no relationship between p-value for platelet reduction of 0.073 with the incidence of dengue disease. Suggestion: input looks for factors associated with the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever but with different variables.
