Popis: BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and heat related-illness are systemic febrile diseases. In the summer during the COVID-19 pandemic, a differential diagnosis between the two conditions is important. However, no studies have compared and distinguished heat-related illness from COVID-19. We aimed to compare the data between patients with early-stage heat-related illness and those with COVID-19. METHODS: This retrospective observational study included 90 patients with early-stage heat-related illness selected from Heatstroke STUDY 2017-2019 (nationwide registries of heat-related illness in Japan) and 86 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 with complaints of fever or fatigue and were admitted to one of two hospitals in Tokyo, Japan. RESULTS: Amongvital signs, systolic blood pressure (119 vs. 125 mmHg, p = 0.02), oxygen saturation (98% vs. 97%, p < 0.001), and body temperature (36.6 vs. 37.6 °C, p
