Rationale:COVID-19 usually presents with flu-like symptoms and signs,but some rare presentations like leukemoid symptoms cannot be ignored.Patient’s concerns:A 37-year-old female presented to the outpatient department with flu-like symptoms.Diagnosis:The RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 infection was positive,while complete blood cell and peripheral blood smear showed leukemoid reaction.Intervention:Paracetamol and fexofenadine for flu-like symptoms and leukemoid presentation.Outcomes:On the 10th day,the patient was asymptomatic and RT-PCR was negative.So the patient was discharged and leukemoid presentation subsided after clearance of viral disease.Lessons:COVID-19 has a myriad of presentations,and unusual symptoms/signs especially in this pandemic could be induced by COVID-19 infection.
