Co-infection of dengue with COVID-19 has created a number of practical challenges to combat the diseases simultaneously, especially at a time when healthcare resources are already exhausted tackling the COVID pandemic. We are presenting the case report of a 14 year old girl who suffered from both RT-PCR positive COVID -19 infection & NS1 positive Dengue. She was managed in a Private Hospital of Dhaka as Dengue fever Group C (due to severe plasma leakage) with severe COVID-19 infection (as required oxygen therapy). She had a critical course of illness, having continued fever, cough, breathlessness, desaturation along with thrombocytopenia & plasma leakage. However, to our great satisfaction, the patient was ultimately improved & could be discharged in a happy face.</p> <p>Bangladesh J Medicine July 2022; 33(1) : 104-108</p>}, number={1}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Medicine}, author={Hossain, Homayra Tahseen and Tasnim, Refaya and Khatun, Halima and Noor, Nawsabah and Rishad, Mahbub Mayukh and Islam, Quazi Tarikul}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={104–108} }
