The clinical features of commonly seen illnesses, such as malaria, enteric fever, dengue, chikungunya, scrub typhus, and leptospirosis mimic each other. Sometimes, concurrent infections within a patient make both diagnosis and subsequent management challenging. Concurrent infections can result in the overlapping of clinical features, posing a diagnostic dilemma for the treating clinician. Given that both typhoid fever and dengue fever are endemic in India, it is possible to be simultaneously infected by both the diseases. Herein we report the case of a 3-year-old child who presented with dengue and typhoid fever coinfection and subsequently recovered.

Gastric teratomas are very rare tumors accounting for less than 1 % of all teratomas of infants and children. Little more than 100 cases of gastric teratomas are reported in the literature; out of which, very few of them are of immature variety. Complete excision of the gastric teratoma carries a good prognosis. We hereby report a case of immature gastric teratoma in a 3-month-old baby.
