  1. Patients with CoRE with more than one pathogen were added independently to each group. Statistically significant differences in *HAV (P = 0.048; Fisher’s exact test), HAV (P = 0.038; Fisher’s exact test) and in patients with CoRE with HBV (P = 0.434; Fisher’s exact test). CoRE Co-infection or recent exposure, DENV Dengue virus, HAV Hepatitis A virus, HBV Hepatitis B virus, CHIKV Chikungunya virus, LEP Leptospirosis. – means there was no patient counting
