ABSTRACT
COVID 19 since its onset in Wuhan in 2019 has overburdened our existing health resources and infrastructure. Dengue virus has been endemic in Asian countries since decades. Both being viruses with similar clinical profile and overlapping laboratory parameters has posed a great challenge for Asian countries to combat a co epidemic, creating a double burden. We, as clinicians must be more vigilant in diagnosing the patients so that dengue is not missed in this covid pandemic era and does not progress to life threatening dengue shock syndrome. More importantly, we should emphasize on preventive measures for prevention of dengue so that we can reduce the burden on health care system.
