Summary:
A 58-year-old diabetic and hypertensive patient showed
symptoms of fever for seven days with cough and irritation in
throat for the same duration. He did not complain of any
headache, shivering, confusion, breathlessness, tastelessness
or smell abnormalities. His first RT-PCR for coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) and IgM for dengue were both
positive. His first PCV value and platelet value were normal
on seventh and ninth day respectively. False positive serology
for dengue may happen in COVID 19 cases.
Key word: RT-PCR, COVID 19, SARS-COV-2
