Study of hematological parameters in COVID-19 patients in a teaching hospital, Telangana
Keywords:
COVID infection, lymphopenia, hematological parametersAbstract
Background: Coronavirus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19) have mild to moderate symptoms and recover after the appropriate medical intervention(s). 15–32 percent develop severe or critical COVID-19 with a case-fatality rate of 1–15% . Viral infection is well known to be associated with abnormal haematological parameters. Aim of the study :. To study haematological parameters in covid 19 patients in a teaching hospital, Telangana. Materials & Methods: Prospective and retrospective observational study done for duration of 6 months ie, from November 2020 to April 2021 in the department of Pathology at Prathima institute of medical sciences,Karimnagar, Telangana. Results: Majority of the cases were noted among 31-40 years constituting 40.4% and followed by 41-50 years occupying 31.8% .Mean age is 39.94 ± 8.01 years in moderate cases and 44.42 ± 10.36 years in severe cases . In nonsevere cases 64% showed Lymphopenia and 3.6% showed Normal lymphocyte percentage and in severe cases 32.2 % showed Lymphopenia. Conclusion: COVID-19 patients on admission showed marked lymphopenia. Careful evaluation of laboratory indices at admission can be helpful to clinicians in formulating a treatment approach and promptly provide intensive care to those who are in greater need.
