Co-infection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and dengue may coexist, as both viruses share similar laboratory and clinical features, making diagnosis and treatment challenging for health care professionals to prescribe, negatively impacting patient prognosis, and outcomes.
Both cases were positive for PCR and X-ray laboratory investigation at clinical examination, confirming COVID-19 and dengue co-infection, admission, and better management in referral hospitals are presented and discussed. The timeline provides detailed cases of situational analysis and the medical actions taken, as well as the outcomes.
Both co-infection cases' (patients) health conditions had a poor prognosis and diagnosis and ended with undesired outcomes. Scaling up dual mosquito-vector linked viral diseases surveillance in understanding the transmission dynamics, early diagnosis, and the timely and safe monitoring of case management in clinical and hospital settings nationwide is paramount in curbing preventable co-infections and mortality.
COVID-19（新冠肺炎）和登革热的合并感染可能同时存在，因为这两种病毒具有相似的实验室和临床特征，这使得医疗保健专业人员在开具处方时具有挑战性，对患者的预后和结果产生负面影响。
在临床检查中，两个病例的 PCR 和 X 射线实验室检测均呈阳性，证实了 COVID-19 和登革热的合并感染。在转诊医院进行了入院和更好的管理，并进行了介绍和讨论。时间线提供了详细的情况分析和所采取的医疗措施以及结果。
两个合并感染病例（患者）的健康状况预后不良，最终导致不良结局。在全国范围内扩大对与蚊虫传播相关的双重病毒疾病的监测，以了解传播动态、早期诊断以及在临床和医院环境中及时、安全地监测病例管理，对于遏制可预防的合并感染和死亡率至关重要。
