摘　　要：Rationale:Dengue fever is a leading cause of death in tropical and subtropical countries.Although most patients have a self-limited febrile illness,the viral infection can induce virus-mediated host changes,making immunocompetent persons susceptible to deadly fungal infections.However,there are only a few reports of such an association.Here we present a case of this deadly co-infection.Patient’s Concern:A 17-year-old male patient was diagnosed with dengue fever.He presented to us with facial swelling,periorbital edema,and black discoloration over the palate during the second week of his illness.Diagnosis:Diagnostic tests confirmed the presence of fungal hyphae.A diagnosis of post-dengue mucormycosis was made.No other comorbidity or underlying immune deficit was detected.Interventions:The patient underwent surgical debridement and antifungal treatment.Outcomes:The patient recovered and showed signs of palatal healing with an advancing mucosal edge.Lessons:Dengue virus and mucor co-infection has brought to light a new pathogenic paradigm.Clinicians need to be aware of this emerging medical condition and maintain a high index of suspicion for mucor co-infections while treating dengue patients.
