Introduction: COVID-19 is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Dengue is an arbovirosis, with symptoms similar to COVID-19, therefore they are diseases causing confusion and may be overlooked. Objectives: To analyze cases of Dengue virus infections and COVID-19 in Palmas-TO. Methodology: We conducted a descriptive quantitative study with secondary data of Dengue and COVID-19, in Palmas-TO, in 2020 and 2021. Result: The incidence of COVID-19 was 130 cases/1000 inhabitants and that of dengue was 3,28 cases/1000 inhabitants, higher in the age group 20 to 59 years. The mortality for COVID-19 was 1.6 deaths/1000 inhabitants and the lethality 0.98%. Discussion: The highest number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Palmas-TO occurred in August 2020 and March 2021, even with six months of difference and policies adopted to contain the pandemic. In the period of higher incidence of COVID-19, dengue had a lower number of cases, probably due to underreporting of dengue cases, which corroborates with studies in other municipalities. The analysis of concomitant cases of the two diseases is important to understand their correlation. Final Considerations: The findings of the study allow an evaluation of the endemic profile of dengue amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an analysis of the circulation of the two viruses, diagnoses, and notifications.
