Abstract

Dengue fever with co-infections especially in children is scarce. The clinical presentations of dengue overlap with that of infections like malaria and hepatitis A which may lead to misdiagnosis. In febrile children from dengue endemic area co-infections should be suspected and if the suspicion is strong patients should be investigated further apart from dengue so that the morbidity can be minimised. Authors report two children with concurrent dengue and vivax malaria and another rare co-infection of dengue with Hepatitis A. All three children recovered completely from their illness.

Abstract

Ko-enfeksiyonlarla birlikte seyreden Deng ateşi özellikle çocuk yaş grubunda nadir olarak görülür. Deng ateşine ait bir takım klinik prezentasyonlar sıtma ve hepatit A gibi diğer bir takım enfeksiyonlarla karışabilir ve yanlış tanılara sebep olabilir. Deng ateşinin endemik olduğu bölgelerde ateşli çocuklarda koenfeksiyonlardan şüphelenilmelidir ve yeterli şüphe varlığında da ko-enfeksiyonlara yönelik ileri araştırmalar da yapılmalıdır. Bu makalede yazarlar iki adet Vivax sıtması ve bir adet de hepatit A’nın eşlik ettiği olmak üzere üç adet Dengue ateşi ko-enfeksiyonu bildirmektedirler. Her üç olgunun tümü şifa ile sonlanmıştır
