The Covid-19 positive sample were tested for the Dengue and/or Chikungunya infections by using IgM ELISA.Results Among 125 samples, 91 samples were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. In these 91 Covid-19 positive samples, 3 samples were Dengue IgM positive and 14 were positive for Chikungunya by IgM ELISA.Conclusion In the present study, antibodies against CHIKV, DENV were detected in Covid-19 positive patients. 14 cases of coinfection between Covid-19 and Chikungunya and 3 cases of coinfection between Covid-19 and Dengue were reported from the present study.
