Year 2020, , 185 - 191, 21.07.2020
https://doi.org/10.7197/cmj.vi.756746

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı bir pandemi hastanesine başvuran ve COVID-19 tanı konulan hastaların demografik verilerini, laboratuvar test neticelerini ve redyolojik görüntüleme çalışmalarını incelemektir.
Yöntem: Tek merkezde, prospektif gözlemsel bu çalışmada Nisan ve Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında pandemi hastanesine başvuran ve COVID-19 tanısı konulan 57 hasta incelenmiştir. SARS-CoV-2 PCR testi negatif saptanan veya 18 yaş altında olan hastalar çalışma dışı tutulmuştur.
Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 44,9 idi. En sık gözlenen yakınmalar sırasıyla kas ağrısı (%61 ), yüksek ateş (%58) ve öksürük (%54) olarak saptanmıştır. En sık saptanılan anormal laboratuvar değerleri CRP (%67) ve LDH (%40) yükselmesi ve lenfopeni (%27) olarak gözlenmiştir. Hastaların üçte birinde eşlik eden hastalık mevcuttu ve en sık saptanan eşlik eden hastalık hipertansiyon (%23) idi. Bilgisayarlı tomografide viral pnömoni saptanan hastaların %84'ünde bilateral tutulum vardı. 
Sonuç: Yüksek ateş, öksürük ile miyalji yakınmaları olan ve laboratuvar değerlerinde LDH, CRP yüksekliği ile lenfopeni saptanan hastaların COVID-19 hastalığı açısından değerlendirilmesi gerekir.

COVID-19 patients in an university hospital; clinical characteristics and relationship with accompanying diseases, a prospective study

Year 2020, , 185 - 191, 21.07.2020
https://doi.org/10.7197/cmj.vi.756746

Abstract


Objective: The aim of this study is to inspect demographic information, laboratory test results and radiologic imaging studies of patients admitting to a pandemic hospital who were diagnosed Covid-19. 
Method: In this single center, prospective observational study, 57 patients who were diagnosed Covid-19 were inspected between April and May 2020. Patients under 18 of age, and patients whose SARS-CoV-2 PCR test were negative were excluded. 
Results: Mean age of patients was 44.9. Myalgia (61%), high fever (58%), cough (54%) were most frequent complaints. Most frequent laboratory results were; increased CRP (67%) and LDH (40%) levels and lymphopenia (27%). One third of patients had accompanying diseases and most frequent accompanying disease was hypertension. Computed tomography imaging revealed bilateral involvement in 84% of patients having viral pneumonia. 
Conclusions: Patients having complaints of high fever, cough, myalgia and laboratory findings of increased CRP and LDH levels and lymphopenia should be carefully evaluated for Covid-19.
