Özet

Introduction: During the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic period, all cases admitted to the emergency services have been evaluated primarily for COVID-19, and therefore other infectious diseases, especially Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), which are endemic in our region, can be overlooked. In this study, it was aimed to determine the diagnostic power of the Hitit Index, which we developed from a panel consisting of clinical and laboratory findings of the cases with and without CCHF in previous years, to distinguish CCHF cases from COVID-19 cases.
