Dengue and hantavirus coinfection with good outcomes: a clinical case from Panama. Dengue and hantavirus are endemic in central Panama. We present a case report of a patient coinfected with dengue and hantavirus who presented overlapping clinical manifestations of both infections. The patient did not require intensive care-as it is commonplace during hantavirus pulmonary syndrome-and he had a good outcome. Patient's care was positively impacted due to correct diagnosis of coinfection. This case highlights that in endemic areas, coinfection with dengue virus and hantavirus should be suspected. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first documented case of coinfection with dengue virus and hantavirus in Central America.
