Abstract Background: All around India, Dengue and Сhikungunya (CHIK) diseases seem to be rising. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes frequently transmit the CHIK virus and Dengue virus (DENV). Both viruses can spread together in regions where they cocirculate. Objectives: The objective of the current investigation is to determine the seroprevalence of coinfection with Dengue and Сhikungunya. Methods: The present study was conducted at the Virus Research and Diagnostic Laboratory, Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal, Telangana, India, from January to December 2022. The district health authority and the admitted cases provided the samples. The patients had symptoms typical of CHIK and DEN infections, including high fever (>39°C), chills, rashes, joint pain, joint swelling, nausea, and headache, myalgia, and pain behind the eyes. Results: Between January 2022 and December 2022, a total of 4892, 3344, and 2103 hospitalised patients underwent serological testing for the Dengue virus (DENV), the Сhikungunya virus (CHIKV), and both Dengue and Сhikungunya virus for co-infection, respectively. IgM Capture ELISA was used for all tests. 153 (7.8%) of the cases had both Dengue virus (DENV) and Сhikungunya virus IgM positivity. (CHIKV). Dengue virus (DENV) monoinfection, or 703 (14.3%), denotes the presence of Dengue virus. 313 (9.3%) individuals tested positive for the Сhikungunya virus, or mono-infected with the virus (CHIKV). Chikungunya IgM, Dengue IgM, and Co-infection Conclusion: Dengue and Chikungunya virus co-infections are clinically more serious than a single infection. However, in endemic regions, particularly during the monsoon season, clinically suspected cases should be tested for both viruses. To determine the severity and clinical result of co-infection, more thorough investigations are needed to analyse the pathophysiology and complications of co-infection.
