Based on the examination of four distinct cases, this case series offers a thorough investigation of the intricate relationship between dengue fever and hepatitis A infection. Despite their distinct origins, both illnesses manifest overlapping clinical features, posing considerable diagnostic hurdles, particularly in endemic regions. The cases reveal consistent symptoms such as elevated fever, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, and irregular liver function test results, underscoring the intricate nature of an accurate diagnosis. Variations in age distribution and the severity of symptoms underscore the necessity for tailored treatment approaches. Diagnostic challenges stem from the similarity in clinical presentations and shared laboratory abnormalities, necessitating comprehensive serological assessments. Therapeutic strategies entail a multidisciplinary approach addressing both hepatic and systemic manifestations, with supportive measures ensuring favorable clinical outcomes. Despite the complexities involved, timely interventions facilitate gradual symptom amelioration and successful patient recovery. Informing clinical practice and directing public health actions, this case series provides insightful information about the diagnostic and treatment complications associated with co-occurring dengue fever and hepatitis A infection.
