Abstract

Dengue and Scrub typhus co-infection in an immunocompetent individual is an extremely rare occurrence. Given the similarities in the clinical manifestations, diagnosis in individuals coinfected with these is frequently missed. We hereby present a case of a 40-year- old female diagnosed to be a co-infection of the two above-mentioned clinical entities.  The coexistence of these infections should be considered in endemic areas.
