Abstract: Aims: A cross sectional study was conducted in the Centre hospitalier universitaire Sylvanus Olympio of Lomé. Results: One hundred forty-seven patients with a median age of 36 years, interquartile range: [23.5-51.5], were included in the study. The prevalence of malaria in the sample was 10.2% (95% CI: [5.8-16.3]) and the prevalence of dengue fever by ELISA was 17% (95% CI: [11.3-24.1]). The overall percent agreement between the RDT Dengue NS1 and ELISA for dengue was 80.9% (95% CI: [73.7-86.9]). The positive percent agreement (PPA) between the RDT assay and the ELISA assay considered as the reference was 36%, 95% CI: [17.9-57.5]), while the negative percent agreement (NPA) between the two assays was 90.2% (95% CI: [83.4-94.8]). Conclusion: This study shows that dengue is as much as malaria responsible of febrile syndromes and that it is present in Togo.
