Concurrent Infection with Malaria, Dengue and Hepatitis A Virus together

Neeraj Kumar Tulara

Dengue, Malaria and Hepatitis-A infection are endemic in developing countries and are associated with poor sanitation and low socioeconomic status. Their coexistence can present a diagnostic dilemma to the treating physician. Though there have been few case reports of concurrent mixed infection but there have been no case reports for Dengue, Malaria and Hepatitis-A together. Here, I present a case of a young female with a recent history of travel all around the country tested positive for the Dengue, Malaria and Hepatitis-A virus. There are several overlapping clinical features of Dengue, Malaria, and Hepatitis-A, which can cause substantial misdiagnosis.
