We provide evidence of concurrent and close sequential infections between SARS-CoV-2 and select arboviruses-namely, chikungunya virus (CHIKV); dengue viruses 1, 2, and 3 (DENV1-3), and Zika virus (ZIKV)-in patients in Guerrero, southwest Mexico, in 2020-2021. The study population consisted of 176 febrile patients with laboratory evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Sera from all patients were serologically and antigenically tested for seven arboviruses known to occur in Guerrero. Eighteen patients contained CHIKV IgM, six of whom also contained CHIKV RNA. Another 16 patients contained flavivirus antigen. The flaviviruses responsible for the infections were identified by plaque reduction neutralization test as DENV1 (two patients), DENV2 (five patients), DENV3 (three patients), ZIKV (three patients), and an undetermined flavivirus (three patients). In summary, we identified patients in Guerrero, Mexico, with concurrent or recent sequential infections between SARS-CoV-2 and select arboviruses, exemplifying the importance of performing differential diagnosis in regions where these viruses cocirculate.
