Abstract EN
Dengue fever and scrub typhus are common causes of acute febrile illness of unclear origin in Asia.
Though coinfections of many vector-borne diseases have been described, articles on dengue and scrub typhus coinfection are distinctly limited.
In case of coinfection with dengue and scrub typhus, vigilant monitoring of vitals, platelets transfusion, and timely treatment with doxycycline are necessary.
High degree of suspicion has to be made for coinfection in a patient presenting with febrile illness with thrombocytopenia and deranged laboratory parameters in postmonsoon season in endemic regions in Asia.
