Abstract

The novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), is characterized by an exaggerated inflammatory response that can lead to severe manifestations such as adult respiratory syndrome, sepsis, coagulopathy, and death in a proportion of patients. In severe COVID-19 patients, inflammatory, biochemical and coagulation high levels of factors may be prognostic factors indicating a poor outcome. We investigated the relationship between lymphopenia, leukocytosis, anemia, high ferritin, D-dimer, CRP, LDH, Procalcitonin, Troponin blood levels and prognosis. In the first initiation to the hospital, the severity of the disease should be estimated according to these parameters and a more intensive treatment and follow-up should be planned.
