In regions endemic to both COVID-19 and dengue, cases of coinfections are possible. Since they have similar clinical presentations, but management might be different, it is crucial to identify these cases of coinfections. We diagnosed seven cases of dengue-COVID-19 coinfections. Fever, myalgia, rash and thrombocytopenia were found to be the common features. All patients recovered well with supportive treatment. We report this series to highlight the possibility of rare coinfections in endemic areas and the importance of a high index of suspicion, early diagnosis and prompt management.
在新冠病毒和登革热的地方性流行地区，存在合并感染的病例。由于它们有相似的临床表现，但治疗方法可能不同，识别这些合并感染病例至关重要。我们诊断出7例登革热-新冠病毒合并感染病例。发热、肌痛、皮疹和血小板减少是常见特征。所有患者经支持治疗后恢复良好。我们报告这一系列病例以强调地方性流行地区罕见合并感染的可能性以及高度怀疑、早期诊断和及时治疗的重要性。
