Dr Rahul S Kamble

Abstract :

Co–infection of tuberculosis and other tropical diseases in humans is an important public problem in co–endemic areas in developing countries. Both the diseases are associated with extremely high mortality in the absence of timely recognition and prompt therapy. The present case report is a rare case report of concurrent dengue and tubercular supraclavicular lymphadenopathy from India. A 26 year old female patient was diagnosed with dengue infection and admitted to the hospital. The patient had complaints of weight loss. Hence, further investigations were done which revealed mediastinal tuberculosis. Early suspicion, diagnosis, and treatment of these tropical infections are needed to prevent any further complications resulting from infections.
