The clinical knowledge of pathogenesis, onset and characteristics of rash is therefore essential to make an early diagnosis and for successful management of the disease. We present herewith a case of a young man with acute febrile illness and rash which raised doubts with regards to the possible etiological diagnosis and necessitated detailed work up which revealed a diagnosis of COVID-19.

Majority of the recent literature on treatment of tibial shaft fractures have upheld intramedullary nailing (IMN) as the treatment of choice. Most of these studies are from the west, in public funded health set ups and in hospitals with very low rates of infection.
