    Simultaneous smallpox and chickenpox infections were confirmed in three patients presenting with similar lesions. Laboratory and electron microscopy confirmed both viral infections, highlighting potential co-infection scenarios.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Simultaneous presentation of distinct viral exanthems is rare.
    • Differential diagnosis of vesicular and pustular rashes can be challenging.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with clinically similar lesions suggestive of both smallpox and chickenpox.
    • Virological investigation was initiated due to the unusual simultaneous presentation.

    Findings:

    • Laboratory confirmation of both smallpox (variola virus) and chickenpox (varicella-zoster virus) infections.
    • Electron microscopy further supported the diagnosis in one patient, visualizing viral particles.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of co-infection with distinct orthopoxviruses and varicelloviruses.

  • Accurate etiological diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management and public health response.
  • Understanding co-infection patterns can inform epidemiological surveillance and clinical guidelines.
