Abstract

Introduction: Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne, zoonotic disease distributed globally. As the clinical features of CCHF and COVID-19 are similar, getting an early and reliable diagnosis may be difficult. Case Presentation: We report the first misdiagnosed case of CCHF in the setting of a COVID-19 pandemic from Ravansar County of Kermanshah province in Iran. Our patient was initially misdiagnosed with COVID-19, got hospitalized, but later tested positive for CCHF. However, the delay in diagnosis caused her death. Conclusions: Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever should be considered among people in endemic areas who show COVID-19 symptoms for urgent medical attention. © 2023, Zeinali et al.
