ResumoA concurrent dengue virus serotype 4 - chikungunya virus infection was detected in a woman in her early 50s returning to Portugal from Lu-a, Angola, in January 2014. The clinical, laboratory - molecular findings, involving phylogenetic analyses of partial viral genomic sequences amplified by RT-PCR, are described. Although the circulation of both dengue - chikungunya viruses in Angola has been previously reported, to our knowledge this is the first time coinfection with both viruses has been detected there.
