Abstract

Dengue is a viral infection caused by the arboviridae family of viruses and is transmitted by the vector, a mosquito with the scientific name Aedes egyptii. The fever caused by the Dengue virus is best labelled as Break Bone fever because of the severe myalgia that accompanies the infection. Snakebite is also a global health problem. Mostly seen in tropical countries and countries with agriculture as the backbone of the economy, it has a varied presentation in such extremes that it can go from a very mild course of disease not requiring antidote administration to life-threatening complications of respiratory muscles paralysis, coagulopathy, and rhabdomyolysis leading to acute kidney injury based on the nature of the venom of the snake. Here, we report a case of snakebite who was also battling a concurrent Dengue infection thus complicating the management of the patient.
