Abstract

Aim: To find changes in hematologic parameters in patients who are COVID-19-positive with respect to high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) chest scan so that the exact picture of the disease course can be identified and an adequate treatment protocol can be planned to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Patients' health-related data including age, gender, symptomatology, associated co-morbidities, laboratory test results and HRCT results were collected. Results: The radiologic findings showed ground glass opacities (GGOs) was the most common manifestation. Analysis of HRCTs of patients with COVID-19 showed that lesions were mainly confined to the right and left lower lobes, suggesting that the COVID-19 virus is mainly harbored in the basal areas of the lungs. Conclusion: Radiologic and laboratory investigations can greatly help in early detection of COVID-19, thus allowing for timely interventions.
