Malaria and dengue fever are among the most common mosquito-borne diseases worldwide; however, reports of coinfection are rare. We present a case of severe malaria and dengue coinfection in a 16-yearold female patient presenting with fever, thrombocytopenia, pleural effusion, myopericarditis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Dengue infection was confirmed by the presence of immunoglobin M antibodies and nonstructural protein 1, while malaria was confirmed by the presence of Plasmodium vivax in thick and thin blood smears. This is the first report of a dengue/malaria coinfection in Mexico.
疟疾和登革热是全球最常见的蚊媒疾病;然而,关于二者合并感染的报道却很罕见。我们报告了一例16岁女性患者同时感染重症疟疾和登革热的病例,该患者表现出发热、血小板减少、胸腔积液、心肌心包炎和急性呼吸窘迫综合征。通过免疫球蛋白M抗体和非结构蛋白1的检测确诊为登革热感染,而通过厚血膜和薄血膜中发现间日疟原虫确诊为疟疾感染。这是墨西哥首例登革热/疟疾合并感染的报告。
