Co-infections are common in tropical countries and can be present with the overlapping of clinical features. The diagnosis of coinfection poses a challenge to the treating physician. We report a varicella child who was presented with persisting fever even after the formation of scabs along with conjunctival suffusion. Her platelets were persistently less than 50000/mm 3 for 3 days and her serology was positive for the dengue infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
