Dengue and typhoid fever are different entities with overlapping signs and symptoms which are indistinguishable and there have been few reports of co-infections from endemic areas. The resemblance of symptoms makes accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment difficult. Both are major health problems mainly during monsoon and co-infection, if not timely diagnosed and treated can be fatal. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of typhoid fever among patients diagnosed with dengue at a tertiary care centre.
