This result confirms the importance of molecular tests showing high sensitivity and specificity that can assist clinical diagnosis, particularly in endemic areas during periods of outbreak for other arboviruses, like the epidemiological picture in Brazil in 2018, when significant co-circulation of dengue virus and yellow fever virus occurred. The presence of co-circulating arboviruses increases the chance of coinfection and demonstrates the importance of differential diagnosis.
