Résumé
As the world fights with the Coronavirus, most of the hospitals are gearing up for the care of these patients. As most of the attention these days is being given on Coronavirus, the patients suffering from other clinical infections are being neglected. SARS-CoV-2 is being kept as the top differential in patients presenting with fever and respiratory distress. We hereby present a case of patient returning from Indonesia during the pandemic presenting with a history of hepatic, renal dysfunction with fever and cough. Due to the pandemic, the patient's fever and cough outweighed the hepatic and renal dysfunction, and the patient had to undergo dialysis before the final diagnosis of leptospirosis could be made.
