patients continue to experience different symptoms each day. Many patients were seen with common symptoms such as fever, fatigue, myalgia, respiratory symptoms (e.g., dry cough, dyspnea), smell and taste disorders, gastrointestinal symptoms, and dermatological findings. Although, fever lasting <7 days has been reported in most patients, it has been seen in patients with persistent or recurrent fever patterns in the second week of illness. Although, any symptoms accompanying fever during the pandemic suggest the diagnosis of COVID-19, other etiologies should also be kept in mind. In this case report, we present two patients who were admitted with fever and rash were initially thought to have COVID-19 but were diagnosed with acute parvovirus infection and acute HIV infection finally. These cases are presented to draw attention to the importance of taking a good history and making a rational differential diagnosis.
