摘要
Dengue fever is a significant health burden in Malaysia. Up to 3.6 billion people are living in the tropics and subtropical areas where dengue infection is endemic. COVID-19 is an emerging global pandemic. Dengue and COVID-19 share certain similar clinical symptoms. COVID-19 was reported to cause false positivity in dengue serology. Herein, we report two cases. The first case was a dengue and COVID-19 co-infection. The second case was a false positive dengue serology, echoing previous reported finding of false positive dengue serology by this new virus. Approach in handling dengue-like illness during this COVID-19 pandemic is discussed. Similarities and differences of these two viral diseases are summarized and discussed.
