Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the neurological involvement in Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) patients with laboratory findings with these cost-free, practical tests.
Materials and Methods: Of the 170 patients diagnosed COVID-19, 103 patients could be reached by phone, and neurological symptoms were recorded as three categories. Laboratory tests of the patients and 103 controls whose real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test negative without any chronic disease history and drug use were obtained from the hospital software.
Results: White blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, basophil, platelet were lower, monocyte to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio higher in patients than controls. In the group with central nervous system findings, red blood cell and hematocrit counts, in the group with peripheral nervous system findings, lymphocyte and platelet counts and with sleep disturbances and muscle pain group eosinophil counts were lower in patients than those without.
Conclusion: COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms have some hematological abnormalities. The presence of certain hematological findings may be a clue to the emergence of neurological symptoms, and early detection and correction of these hematological abnormalities may be the solution to prevent the development of neurological symptoms in COVID-19.

Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Coronavirüs 19 (COVID-19) hastalarında nörolojik tutulumu laboratuvar bulguları ile karşılaştırmayı ve bu maliyetsiz, pratik testlerin prognozu öngörelebilirliğini değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: COVID-19 tanısı konan 170 hastanın 103'üne telefonla ulaşılabildi ve nörolojik semptomlar üç kategoride kaydedildi. Herhangi bir kronik hastalık öyküsü ve ilaç kullanımı olmayan gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (RT-PCR) testi negatif olan 103 hasta ve 103 kontrolün laboratuvar testleri, hastane yazılım programından elde edildi.
Bulgular: Hastalarda kontrollere göre lökosit, nötrofil, lenfosit, eozinofil, bazofil, trombosit sayıları daha düşük, monosit/lenfosit oranı ve trombosit/lenfosit oranı daha yüksekti. Santral sinir sistemi bulguları olan grupta eritrosit ve hematokrit sayıları, periferik sinir sistemi bulguları olanlarda lenfosit ve trombosit sayıları ile uyku bozukluğu ve kas ağrısı olan grupta eozinofil sayıları olmayanlara göre daha düşüktü.
Sonuç: Nörolojik semptomları olan COVID-19 hastalarında bazı hematolojik anormallikler saptandı. Bazı hematolojik bulguların varlığı, nörolojik semptomların ortaya çıkması için bir ipucu olabilir ve bu hematolojik anormalliklerin baştan saptanıp düzeltilmesi, COVID-19'da nörolojik semptomların gelişimini engellemek açısından çözüm olabilir.
