Overview

Case report details a rare co-infection of malaria, dengue, and scrub typhus in a child, highlighting the diagnostic challenges.

Key Points

  • Clinical suspicion and prompt diagnostic testing led to the identification of multiple infections in a child.
  • The patient exhibited severe anaemia and thrombocytopenia before receiving targeted treatment for co-infections.
  • The presence of IgM serology confirmed scrub typhus despite the absence of characteristic symptoms.
  • Clinical improvement was observed following adjustment of the treatment plan with antimalarials and doxycycline.
