Abstract :Hantaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses in the Bunyaviridae family that cause rodent-borne zoonotic infections. They cause two separate diseases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), as a result of transmission to humans through contact with rodent excrements and inhalation. The form seen more common in Türkiye is HFRS, which progresses with acute kidney injury and thrombocytopenia. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that ranges from asymptomatic infection to pneumonia, respiratory failure, and death. Because of symptoms such as fever, weakness, and flu-like clinical findings in the early days, it can be confused with many infectious diseases. In this case report, a case of hantavirus renal syndrome admitted with fever, weakness, and flu-like symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic was presented.
