Coprevalence of dengue and COVID-19 was found in higher frequency in Jatrabari (14%) and Motijhil (11%). Severe (65%, P = .001) and very severe (78%, P = .005) symptoms were prevalent among the participants aged &amp;gt;50 years. Long-term illness was prevalent among the participants with co-infection (35%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 33\u201336) and COVID-19 (28%; 95% CI, 26\u201330). Co-infected participants had a higher frequency of heart damage (31.6%, P = .005), brain fog (22%, P = .03), and kidney damage (49.3%, P = .001). Fever (100%) was the most prevalent symptom followed by weakness (89.6%), chills (82.4%), fatigue (81.4%), headache (80.6%), feeling thirsty (76.3%), myalgia (75%), pressure in the chest (69.1%), and shortness of breath (68.3%), respectively. Area of residence (odds ratio [OR], 2.26; 95% CI, 1.96\u20132.49, P = .01), number of family members (OR, 1.45; 95% CI ,1.08\u20131.87; P &amp;lt;.001), and population density (OR, 2.43; 95% CI, 2.15\u20133.01; P = .001) were associated with higher odds of co-infection.
