Febrile patients meeting a clinical case definition were enrolled from inpatient and outpatient medicine and pediatric units. We assessed 720 febrile patients over 12 months; 69 (9.6%) were positive for IgM antibodies against dengue virus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and four malaria patients (0.56%) were confirmed with immuno-chromatography and microscopic slide tests. We identified dengue cases throughout the year from rural (49%) and urban areas (51%). We followed-up 55 accessible dengue-infected patients two months after their initial enrollment: 45 (82%) patients had fully recovered, 9 (16%) reported ongoing jaundice, fever and\/or joint pain, and one died. Dengue infection is widespread across Bangladesh, but malaria is sufficiently uncommon that it should not be assumed as the cause of fever without laboratory confirmation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2012.11-0190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,9]],"date-time":"2012-01-09T22:56:40Z","timestamp":1326149800000},"page":"58-64","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Hospital-Based Prevalence of Malaria and Dengue in Febrile Patients in Bangladesh"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Labib I.","family":"Faruque","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rashid Uz","family":"Zaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
