Abstract

Acute undifferentiated febrile illness is the most common presenting symptom in both adults and children during the monsoon. Incidence of both vector- and water-borne diseases are highest during these seasons, co-infections of dengue with typhoid, malaria, leptospirosis, scrub typhus and other arboviruses can occur in endemic areas. We report the case of a 3-year-old child who presented with dengue and typhoid fever coinfection and subsequently recovered.

If not treated early, dengue and typhoid together, may lead to multi-organ involvement with significant morbidity and mortality.
