Résumé
Presentation of febrile illness with nonspecific features, overlapping manifestations of dengue and leptospirosis, limited laboratory diagnostic tests, make the clinical diagnosis of pyrexia a challenge. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of This is a retrospective hospital-based study which included patient data collected from June 2016 to May 2017. Inpatients' samples (n=2139) were tested for dengue and/or Among 1612 serum samples tested for dengue IgM by ELISA, 382 (23.7%) were positive, 17 equivocal and 1213 were negative. Of the 811 The study emphasizes the possibility of leptospirosis and dengue co-infection (3.2%) and need for confirmation by a highly specific test like PCR. If co-infection is suspected, treatment with specific antibiotics for leptospirosis and supportive treatment for dengue is mandatory, with due attention to complexity of organ involvement.
