Laboratory findings in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Abstract

Coronavirus disease pandemic is a public health threat that affects the whole world. Most coronavirus infections are mild in humans. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and coronavirus pneumonia. Many results in coronavirus disease have been obtained in the studies conducted so far. Rapid and effective diagnosis of coronavirus disease is vital. Thus; infected people can be isolated earlier and the spread of the disease can be stopped, and treatment of patients in need of treatment can be started immediately. In this review; the classification of patients, laboratory findings and the causes and results of these findings are mentioned.
It is thought that; this review could help clinicians and researchers for diagnosis, classification, treatment and prognosis of coronavirus disease. In addition, it is also thought that; this review helps to find out a biomarker that could be used in conjunction with computed tomography results for rapid and accurate diagnosis and classification of coronavirus disease.
