Descrição

In 2024, unprecedented outbreaks of dengue and Oropouche were reported in the Americas. We describe a documented co-infection with dengue and Oropouche viruses in a 35-year-old traveller from Cuba detected in Portugal. RT-PCR and next-generation sequencing confirmed both viruses. Our findings highlight the need for multiplex arboviral diagnostics in travellers from regions with concurrent outbreaks.
