The fever caused by the Dengue virus is best labelled as Break Bone fever because of the severe myalgia that accompanies the infection. Snakebite is also a global health problem. Mostly seen in tropical countries and countries with agriculture as the backbone of the economy, it has a varied presentation in such extremes that it can go from a very mild course of disease not requiring antidote administration to life-threatening complications of respiratory muscles paralysis, coagulopathy, and rhabdomyolysis leading to acute kidney injury based on the nature of the venom of the snake. Here, we report a case of snakebite who was also battling a concurrent Dengue infection thus complicating the management of the patient.</p>
