Abstract

The COVID-19 disease - which emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 - has had a significant effect on the whole world having developed into a pandemic, with a wide range of symptoms ranging from asymptomatic carrier to mortality. The focus on COVID-19 diagnosis for these reasons has led to difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of other diseases. Vasculitis is a very difficult disease group due to its multi-organ involvement and different clinical courses. Due to its radiological properties, there the differential diagnosis of COVID-19 can be difficult. A 65-year-old female patient was admitted with a complaint of dry cough, shortness of breath when walking and chest pain. The patient was examined many times for COVID-19, both in our hospital and in other clinics, and for this reason, the diagnosis of vasculitis was delayed. A diagnosis of vasculitis should be kept in mind in patients with prolonged and multi-systemic symptoms when examined with a pre-diagnosis of COVID-19.
