Malaria and COVID-19 dual infections can worsen the severity of both diseases and lead to misdiagnosis due to overlapping symptoms. It is reported that SARS-CoV-2 may affect malaria progression through the renin-angiotensin system. A total of 96 participants aged 15 to 64 years were retained and divided into four groups: COVID-19 (28), malaria (28), co-infection (16), and controls (24). Blood and nasopharyngeal samples were tested for both diseases using RDT and RT-PCR. Disease severity markers ...
