Abstract
Fatal Human Co-infection with<i>Leptospira</i>spp. and Dengue Virus, Puerto Rico, 2010
Highlights
We report a fatal case of co-infection with Leptospira spp. and dengue viruses (DENVs)-1 in a man in Puerto Rico
Dengue virus nonstructural (NS) protein 1 was detected in whole blood, and flavivirus NS5 gene was amplified from RNA extracted from the liver; sequencing showed 98% homology with DENV-1
This case report demonstrates the need for antigen-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) for acute febrile illnesses (AFI) patients
