      abstract = {Dengue the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease, is often mistaken to be malaria infections leading to false negative results. It could be transmitted to new places from  people that have visited endemic regions. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of dengue virus infection amongst students with febrile illness returning to Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic Unwana.  A total of 150 returning students to Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana Afikpo, Ebinyi State were sampled. The virus was detected serologically using ELISA technique IgG and IgM detection. Aseptically, 5 ml of blood was collected from each patient using a sterile syringe into plain tube, the tubes were properly labeled. Field stains were prepared for malaria parasite detection using microscopy technique. ELISA technique was employed in detecting both IgG and IgM.  Of the 150 samples, 43(28.7%) samples were positive for malaria. While 58(38.7%) of the samples were seropositive for dengue virus. However, 21(14%) were found to have both Malaria and Dengue virus co-infection. From Dengue Virus results of 58(38.7%), 34(58.6%) were positive for anti-DV IgM while 24(41.4%) were positive for anti-DV IgG. The highest age bracket with DV infection was among the age bracket of 17 ? 22 years with 32(55.2%) infection. Co-infection showed that 12(57.1%) of the infection was also among the age bracket of 17 ? 22 years. However, the highest DV infections were male 32(55.2%). From the foregoing, it is recommended that DV examination should be included in the diagnosis of people presenting with febrile illnesses.},
