It is difficult to distinguish dengue fever from other febrile illnesses in a dengue-endemic area. This issue was compounded during the H1N1 2009 pandemic of influenza, which also presents as a febrile illness. This first laboratory-confirmed case of co-infection with dengue and influenza A H1N1 2009 strain in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, highlights the importance of considering co-infections because not only is influenza an ongoing concern in Jeddah, but several viral hemorrhagic fever viruses circulate in this region.
在登革热流行地区，很难将登革热与其他发热性疾病区分开来。在 2009 年甲型 H1N1 流感大流行期间，也出现了类似的发热性疾病，这使得这一问题更加复杂。这是在沙特阿拉伯吉达首次实验室确认的登革热与 2009 年甲型 H1N1 流感病毒合并感染病例，这凸显了考虑合并感染的重要性，因为流感不仅在吉达持续存在，而且在该地区还存在几种病毒性出血热病毒。
