Purpose: Crimean-Kongo Blood Fever (KKKA) is a disease of the group of viral hemorrhagic fever and is seen as endemic in certain regions of our country. In this study, the demographic, clinical and laboratory findings of our patients diagnosed with COVID in the period of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19) were studied and the distinctive diagnosis was attracted. Methods: Our study included 12 patients who were postponed to our clinic in the form of send or direct application after March 11, which is the start date of the COVID-19 pandemic in our country and diagnosed with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction with viral-RNA or enzyme-related immunosorbent experiment with immunoglobulin M antibodies and over the age of 18. Epidemiological characteristics, clinical and laboratory findings, treatment and prognosis were analyzed. The findings: 10 of the patients (83.3%) were male, 2 (16.7%) female, and the median age (interquartile range) was 51 (27-64) years. 11 of the patients (91.7%) lived in rural areas, while 7 (58.3%) had a history of contact with cane. Five patients were placed in the outer center with a COVID-19 pre-diagnosis and sent to our center after clinical and laboratory deterioration. The most common symptoms were appetite, headache, fever, insufficiency and muscle addiction pain. Six patients from five external centers were taken with a computer tomography (BT) with suspicion of COVID-19 and no pathological finds were found in the IT of the torace. The result is that the COVID-19 pandemic will end in the next few months with the contribution of vaccinations, but it is possible to predict that the sports events will occur for a long time. Clinicists should bear in mind the distinctive diagnosis of COVID-19, which shows clinical and laboratory findings similar to COVID-19. It should not be forgotten that co-infections can also be seen in endemic areas.
