“…17,18 To develop precise therapeutic strategies and interventions aimed to reduce the severity, comprehending these immune responses is of utmost importance. 19 Similar COVID-19 and dengue coinfection in a Thai patient had nonspecific symptoms and signs as seen in most coinfected patients. 20 The study showed that the patient had fever and myalgia with no visible concerns in the chest X-ray that could confirm lungs infection.…”

Background and AimDengue and SARS‐CoV‐2 coinfection is commonly encountered and constantly reported in particularly the dengue‐endemic regions thus posing a co‐epidemic threat. Coinfection is also significantly associated with morbidity and mortality. Comorbidity risk during a coinfection is of a greater concern. Although the pathophysiologies of the two infections vary, their identical clinical symptoms during coinfection result in diagnostic and therapeutic complexities.MethodsA literature search for the current relevant reports was carried out. The searched databases were Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and the Web of Science, with health agencies like the WHO. Based on the selection criteria, the most recent and pertinent reports published in English language were included for the ease of understanding, deciphering and analysing the secondary data.ResultsA delay in proper diagnosis of coinfection could result in serious complications with poor patient outcome. Whether it is a standalone dengue or COVID‐19 infection or a coinfection, specific biomarkers may be utilized for its foolproof diagnosis. This article highlights the various diagnostic techniques and immune responses from the perspective of prompt and appropriate public health management for patients suffering from COVID‐19 and dengue viral coinfections, both being independently or collectively capable of damaging a human body.ConclusionAs coinfection poses significantly large burden on an already‐fragile healthcare facility, constant monitoring of a coinfected patient is needed for prompt and suitable therapeutics. Also, to maintain high vigilance and invoke appropriate preventive measures particularly in dengue endemic regions, the government, healthcare authority and the general public need to collaborate and cooperate.

“…Several cases were emerged in different countries. In Philippines reported a 38-year-old male patient with high-grade fever, with complaints of nausea, joint, and muscle aches, all characteristic symptoms of COVID-19 and dengue but was not severe, although the tests confirmed the infections to be "moderate to severe" and showed steady and rapid recovery [21]. Previous studies "in Latin America reported that coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus is associated with worse outcomes with significant morbidity and mortality.…”

A lot of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related deaths were reported in Yemen about what risk factors contributing to this excess death? Hodeidah governorate at Western part of Yemen exposed to COVID-19 pandemic like other governorates in Yemen, adding to the current chronic diseases’ problems and endemic of vector – borne diseases namely malaria and dengue. The aim of this case report is to explore more data about COVID-19 – dengue fever coinfection related deaths in Hodeidah, Yemen, with both infections cause high mortality rates. The case reported here shows a 25 ‐year‐old male, cough, hypoxia, fever 38°C, difficult in breathing, and bleeding from nose as major of symptoms with oxygen saturation (O2) of 70%, 30 ipm of respiratory rate (RR), 120/80 mmHg of blood pressure, and 120 bpm of heart rate (HR). The patient was diagnosed with bilateral asymmetrical consolidative change with ground glass opacification based X–ray, the leukocytosis, lymphopenia, neutrophilia, and thrombocytopenia were reported. The level of random blood sugar (RBS) was normal, increase in liver enzyme was observed. Mild increase in serum creatinine with C – reactive protein (CRP) was high reactivity with positive COVID-19 and hemorrhagic dengue fever. The patient passed away (death) within two hours in triage. In conclusion , the co-infections with other infection like dengue is of high concern and this is the first reported case of COVID-19 and dengue coinfection presented as stroke and highlights the complex context of diagnostic and therapeutic management in tropical settings such as Hodeidah, Yemen.

“…Dengue outbreaks amidst the COVID-19 pandemic led to misdiagnosis due to similar clinical presentation and also increased the likelihood of co-infection [ 16 ]. A case of co-infection was reported by Chowdhury et al which was initially diagnosed as COVID-19 infection due to a positive RT-PCR test but later confirmed as co-infection based on positive reactivity to IgG and IgM antibodies in the dengue duo test [ 17 ]. Another study reported false positive dengue serology in 22% of COVID-19 patients [ 18 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 spread across many countries between 2020 and 2022. The similarities in clinical presentation with other endemic diseases pose a challenge to physicians in effectively diagnosing and treating the infection. Approximately 129 nations have a risk of dengue infection, and more than 100 of those are endemic to dengue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of dengue cases decreased in many countries owing to the isolation measures followed. However, the common clinical presentation between them has led to misdiagnosis. Both COVID-19 and dengue fever cause a surge in proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, thus sharing a common pathophysiology. False positive serological test results also posed difficulty differentiating between COVID-19 and dengue fever. This review aims to compare the clinical features, pathophysiology, and immune response between dengue and COVID-19, to benefit public health management during the pandemic.
