Spontaneous splenic rupture: A rare complication of concurrent malaria and dengue infections – A case report
This is the first reported case of SSR secondary to concurrent Plasmodium falciparum malaria and dengue fever in Somalia. This highlights the need for improved diagnostic tools, healthcare infrastructure, and targeted public health interventions in endemic regions. Further research is crucial to understand the synergistic effect of these co-infections in inducing SSR.
