Özet: Corona virus disease is an infectious disease caused by a newly emerged virus strain SARS Cov-2. Most people infected with the corona virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and malignancies are more likely to develop serious illness1. Social distancing to prevent the transmission of this fatal disease and prolonged lockdown for around 6months has led to patient reaching hospitals at advanced stage of disease.  Furthermore patients having fever, fatigue and other non specific symptoms were hesitant to visit the hospitals owing to the current scenario1. We present a case series of four patients presented to our COVID dedicated tertiary care setting wherein the patients had prolonged fever and were clinically suspected to be having SARS‐CoV‐2 infection . On hematological investigation they were found out to be cases of acute leukemia. Keywords: SARS‐CoV‐2, laparotomy.
