Insidental COVID-19 cases

Abstract

We wanted to present the upper respiratory tract infection originating from an RNA virus, which appeared in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and was named the COVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) (1), and the possibility of variable clinical pictures in people who caught it. These patients usually present to emergency departments with complaints of fever, sweating, respiratory distress, and fatigue. However, in our case series, we presented patients who did not have the previously mentioned symptoms but presented to emergency departments due to various reasons and were then diagnosed with COVID-19(CoV) (2). Since this disease, which is transmitted through inhalation, also exists without the manifestation of its clinical symptoms, we tried to raise awareness that all individuals could be infected in countries to which the pandemic spread and they should take precautions accordingly.
