At the end of December 2019, a fast-spreading outbreak had started due to a novel coronavirus in Wuhan city of Hubei, China. At first, patients who do not meet the disease’s criteria were accepted without COVID-19 but later we noticed that even these patients may have the disease. So, during the pandemic period, every patient must be assumed to have the disease and necessary preventive measures must be taken. In this case, we unexpectedly observed COVID-19 in an old patient who admitted to the emergency department with trauma.
Çin’in Hubei bölgesindeki Wuhan şehrinde 2019 Aralık ayı sonunda hızlı bir şekilde yayılan bir salgın başladı. Başlangıçta hastalık kriterlerini karşılamayan hastalarda COVID-19 olmadığı kabul edildi ama daha sonra bu hastalarda bile COVID-19 olabileceğini fark edildi. Yani pandemi dönemi boyunca her hastada COVID-19 olabileceği varsayılmalı ve gerekli koruyucu önlemler alınmalıdır. Bu vakamızda, acil servise travma nedeniyle başvuran yaşlı bir hastada beklenmedik bir şekilde COVID-19 tespit ettik.
