Background: Prevalence of dengue virus and malaria parasite or co-infection dengue virus and malaria parasite among febrile patients in Kassala State in Sudan. Malaria and dengue are common mosquito-borne diseases around the world that cause high mortality and morbidity. The number of cases of both diseases is currently rising in Sudan and is associated with climate and environmental changes. This study was done to determine the prevalence of dengue virus and malaria parasite in febrile patients in Kassala State in Sudan.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study was carried out on the target population (Khartoum state) (2023). The study included a total of (100) Blood specimens were collected from 100 consenting subjects with febrile complaints attending four police hospital in Kassala State in Sudan. Serological determination of dengue virus Igm was carried out using the enzyme linked Immunochromatographic assay (ICT)detection of dengue virus antibodies or surface antigen, sample was collected, IBM statistic SPSS (V 25) was used for statistical analysis.
Results: If it is inferred that there is a relationship between malaria and dengue fever, we have a morale level of 0.05 and it is inferred that there is a strong relationship between malaria and dengue fever. If you have dengue fever, you have malaria, so malaria has greatly affected dengue fever.
Conclusion: The study concluded that prevalence of malaria and dengue co-infections was estimated high, severity of clinical symptoms of patients with malaria and dengue co-infections was observed, and young ages were more affected by the co-infections and that malaria has greatly affected dengue fever. finding highlights, the necessity of clear understanding of the epidemiology of malaria and dengue co-infections is essential to inform decision-makers to institute an appropriate control strategy for both diseases.
