Plasmodium Vivax and Dengue co infection emerging challenge to diagnosis
Keywords:
Malaria, Dengue, Concurrent infection
Abstract
The prevalence of malaria and dengue is high in tropical countries. The diagnosis of mixed infections is difficult as both infections have similar clinical presentation. There is paucity of literature on concurrent malaria and dengue infections. The confirmation of one confection should not preclude the possibility of other as mixed infections have poor prognostic outcome. The timely diagnosis of co infection is important for favorable outcome and complete cure.DOI: 10.21276/AAMS.1870References
