When my wife was having the dengue fever last year, a neighbor of ours suggested the papaya leaves to increase the count of blood platelet. So we tried it, but we could not prove or suggest that the papaya leave did have an impact on the recovery.
Today I came across a newspaper story about "dengue cure" property of papaya leaves. The details are given below:
The paper reported that many people consumed the leave with the believe of its curing property.
The studies conducted by a few local and overseas universities had shown that the powder from papaya leaves help for the release of blood platelets. According to Dr S Kathiresan the leaves which contain high level of complex vitamins might help bone marrow to increase the production of blood platelet.

Dengue fever is still a dangerous disease in Malaysia causing a number of death.
The virus attacks the the production of blood platelet, the components of the blood that form the blood clogging and prevents haemorrhaging. Without it the patient will be susceptible to internal as well as external bleeding and the effect can be fatal.
