“…Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral illness that is endemic in many countries and its incidence is worrisome in our area during this pandemic. 6 Here we report two cases of severe thrombocytopenia in COVID-19 due to dengue coinfection. Most often the thrombocytopenia in dengue is self-resolving, and a careful “wait and watch” should suffice unlike COVID-19, where steroids can help if the cytopenia is due to cytokine storm or immune-mediated effects.…”

A bstract Thrombocytopenia in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) can be attributed to multiple factors. Most often it is disease related. It is usually mild and if severe often associated with severe COVID-19 disease. It can also be due to drugs (Remdesivir, Tocilizumab) or coinfection with other viruses. Here we report two cases of severe thrombocytopenia in COVID-19 due to dengue coinfection. Most often the thrombocytopenia in dengue is self-resolving, and a careful “wait and watch” should suffice unlike COVID-19, where steroids can help if the cytopenia is due to cytokine storm or immune-mediated effects.

“…Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that is endemic in many countries. Two cases of severe thrombocytopenia in COVID-19 were reported due to coinfection with dengue hemorrhagic fever (Varghese and Kumaran, 2020), Thrombocytopenia in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever can resolve on its own. COVID-19 and dengue hemorrhagic fever have similar laboratory characteristics.…”

The increasing cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in all regions of Indonesia are a disease transmitted through a vector amid the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, which can seriously threaten public health. This study aims to analyze the relationship between thrombocytopenia in patients with COVID-19 and cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever. This research was conducted from February to March 2022. The tools used in this study were the Abbot Cell-Dyn Ruby Hematology Autoanalyzer and questionnaires as well as PCR secondary data. Anas used Pearson's Correlation Test statistic and used a cross-sectional study design with 389 respondents who came to check blood at the laboratory. Based on the data obtained, 128 respondents had thrombocytopenia (32.9%) diagnosed with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, and as many as 70 out of 128 respondents had been exposed to COVID-19 (54.7%). The analysis results show a relationship between the influence of thrombocytopenia in patients with COVID-19 and cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. It is necessary to improve anamnesis in patients suspected of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, it is hoped that they will carry out investigations related to previous exposure to COVID-19, so that they can provide, fast, precise and accurate treatment and treatment.
