CONCURRENT MALARIA AND DENGUE COINFECTION IN A PATIENT WITH HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 1 ENCEPHALITIS: A CASE STUDY.

Dengue and malaria are both endemic in several parts of India and represent a major public health burden in this region. Very few cases of concurrent infection with dengue and malaria have been reported from North East India. Here, we present a case of a young male returning from a dengue endemic area who tested positive for the virus along with Plasmodium vivax and later found to have herpes simplex virus 1 encephalitis.
