This is a case of coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus leading to a fatal stroke in a tropical setting, providing insights into the clinical presentations of these two important diseases.
Herein, we report a case of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and dengue coinfection, presented as a fatal stroke in our hospital, in Sao Jose do Rio Preto, Sao Paulo State, a Brazilian city hyperendemic for dengue viruses and other arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) and currently facing a surge of SARS-CoV-2 cases. This case is the first described in the literature and contributes to the better understanding of clinical presentations of two important diseases in a tropical setting.
