Double trouble: A review of dengue virus co-infections and their impact on disease severity
Authors
Sujitha S, Murugesan R
Abstract
Dengue virus infection, a major global health threat, rarely exists in
isolation. Co-infections with other prevalent pathogens, particularly in
tropical and subtropical regions, present a significant challenge to diagnosis,
treatment, and patient outcomes. This review delves into the complex interplay between
DENV and other common co-infecting agents, examining the epidemiological
overlap, clinical presentations, immunological interactions, and potential for
synergistic effects on disease severity. We highlight the current understanding
of how co-infections modulate DENV pathogenesis, emphasizing the need for
improved diagnostic tools, integrated surveillance strategies, and tailored
treatment approaches to effectively address this growing public health concern.
