Abstract

Bangladesh recently faced large outbreaks of both COVID-19 and dengue. We present a case of COVID-19 and dengue coinfection in a patient who presented with hemoptysis. Our results demonstrate that COVID-19 and dengue fever are both public health issues in Bangladesh and other dengue-endemic nations and that they can coexist.

Keywords: Bangladesh; COVID‐19; coinfection; dengue; hemoptysis.
