Zusammenfassung:Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral zoonotic infectious disease transmitted by ticks, accompanied by fever, bleeding, myalgia, weakness and similar non-specific symptoms, and can have an acute and serious course. In this article, two CCHF cases seen during the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in a non-endemic province are described. The common feature of both cases; contact with animals in the endemic region during the feast of sacrifice, non-specific symptoms, liver function test, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase elevation, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, tick and livestock contact of patients with non-specific symptoms should be questioned.
