Summary:
In the recent years morbidity caused by dengue epidemic
has been devastating. Confection of dengue malaria and
filaria has been reported in literature where in filarial
antigen was detected in the patient. Concurrent infection
by dengue and filaria with high parsetemic microfilariae
load in a single individual is very rarely known. The varied
clinical profile in dengue is multifactorial and concurrent
co-infection may be one of them. Here in this case of
concurrent infection with dengue and filarial, the patient
presented with intestinal obstruction which responded
dramatically with diethylcarbamizine while other
clinicalsyndrome took a long time. Furthermore, if single
vector can harbour both the infectious agent, the etiopathogenesis
may completely take a different turn and at
times project alarming condition.
