Hepatitis A and dengue coinfection

Coinfection of both dengue fever and hepatitis A in an individual is rare and can present as a challenging diagnosis to any medical professional. Dengue, leptospirosis, malaria, and viral hepatitis, have many overlapping clinical symptoms making it difficult to diagnose them together. A series of case reports have been published on various coinfections with dengue in an individual. Coinfection of dengue with leptospira, malaria, hepatitis A, hepatitis E and typhoid fever have been reported in literature1-2. We report three cases of children presented with dengue and hepatitis A coinfection.
