Oropouche fever: Clinical characteristics and viral–bacterial coinfections in a region of the Peruvian Amazon: A cross-sectional study
Coinfection with <i>Leptospira</i> was associated with a longer length of hospital stay and was the only scenario in which empiric antibiotic therapy aligned with the true etiology. OROV monoinfections and viral coinfections (with DENV-2 American/Asian II) showed similar clinical profiles, underscoring that routine clinical assessment alone cannot readily distinguish these infections or coinfections.
