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

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.
