COVID-19 and Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever: Is there any Similarity in Chest Radiology?
Öz: 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
<0.05). Cough was significantly more common in COVID-19 patients (p= 0.034). Groundglass opacity (GGO) was the most common tomography finding in CCHF, and cases without
lung involvement were significantly higher (p = 0.001). GGO, consolidation, vascularization,
atelectasis band, reverse halo, air-bubble, nodule were significantly high in COVID-19 patients.
Conclusion: During the epidemic period, no pathological finding was found in thoracic CT
in most of the CCHF cases, and the presence of involvement in the lung tomography in
cases with similar clinical and laboratory findings should primarily suggest the diagnosis
of COVID-19.
