Four years ago, a 40-year-old female physician who was diagnosed with idiopathic intrakranial hypertension (IH) was followed in remission in recent years without taking any medication. Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic, patients working in high-risk areas and under stress have been using personal protective equipment (N95 mask, protective clothes, glasses and protective head) for a long time throughout the day. During this process, the patient's headaches reappeared and acetazolamide, then topiramate and dietary therapy began due to the disease. During the treatment of HIV, findings and symptoms characterized by symptomatic metabolic acidosis, breathing impairment and a feeling of choking in the chest appeared, although the treatment was a very rare side effect and was treated in higher doses in the first attack of the patient. Here, the problems arising in the diagnosis and management of HIV during the COVID-19 epidemic will be discussed.
