Abstract

Objective: While the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was continuing at full speed, patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), which is endemic in our region, apply to the emergency department simultaneously. The presence of computed tomography (CT) lesions suggesting COVID-19 in some CCHF patients has brought to our mind the question of whether there is CCHF lung involvement even though respiratory symptoms are not at the forefront. Methods: In this study, the findings of chest CT, demographic data and clinical symptoms of cases who had thorax tomography scan with suspicion of COVID-19 in the emergency department in the spring and summer of 2020 and were diagnosed with CCHF as a result of the evaluation and followed up in our clinic were compared with the findings of COVID-19 cases that were hospitalized and treated in the same period. Results: Seventy-seven COVID-19 and 25 CCHF cases were included in the study. Myalgia, headache, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting were significantly higher in CCHF patients (p
