Resumo: We report two cases of imported infection in patients who had returned to Taiwan from Singapore: one was coinfected with chikungunya virus - dengue virus type 2, - the other was infected with the same dengue virus. Both viruses were successfully isolated from the coinfected case by using antibody neutralization - a plaque purification technique.
