## Abstract

The pandemic due to severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) was one of the most damaging healthcare emergencies the world has ever seen. Co-infection with dengue virus in COVID-19-positive patients is an additional challenge especially in dengue-endemic areas. Both dengue and COVID-19 infection cause increased morbidity and adverse outcomes in pregnant women, and simultaneous infection of these two illnesses can be further detrimental and sometimes fatal in pregnant women. Here, we present a case of a pregnant woman in her early second trimester with co-infection of dengue and moderate COVID-19 disease who was managed successfully and had a favorable outcome.
