登革热合并带状疱疹:一例罕见合并感染病例报告

阅读:1

Abstract

Dengue is an infectious disease that plays an essential role in morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Occasionally, it presents with rare presentations and co-infections. Co-infection of herpes zoster and dengue is possible in countries such as these where both infections are common. Varicella-zoster infection is one of the self-limiting viral infections, and dengue fever is an endemic infection in Sri Lanka. When there is suspicion in diagnosis due to a change of natural course or overlapping of clinical features, concurrent co-infections have to be strongly suspected. We present the case of a 46-year-old female who had herpes zoster and dengue infection and was managed with a multidisciplinary team approach. The patient improved without any complications.
