Abstract:

Objective To analyze the clinical symptoms and laboratory determination results of 92 patients with corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19). Methods The clinical symptoms,diagnosis and classification data of 92 patients with COVID-19 were analyzed retrospectively. The results of the first-time laboratory determination results [white blood cell(WBC) count,the absolute value of neutrophil(NEUT #),the absolute value of lymphocyte(LYMPH #),CD3+ cell,CD4+ cell,CD8+ cell,C-reactive protein(CRP),serum amyloid A(SAA) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) antibody] were collected. Results Among the 92 patients,there were 35 patients in severe group and 57 patients in mild group. The clinical symptoms of visit were mainly fever(77.2%),cough(66.3%) and general fatigue(26.1%),of which cough was mainly coughing white foamy sputum(41.0%) and dry cough(36.1%). The first clinical symptoms were cough and fever with cough. Totally,80.7% patients had normal WBC count,84.2% had normal NEUT#,and 80.7% had normal LYMPH#. CD3+ cell,CD4+ cell and CD8+ cell decreased in 59.3%,56.0% and 51.6% patients,respectively. CRP was increased in 64.1% patients,SAA was increased in 72.8% patients,and MP antibody was positive in 55.7% patients. NEUT#,CRP and SAA in severe group were higher than those in mild group(P<0.05),and LYMPH# and CD3+ cell,CD4+ cell and CD8+ cell were lower(P<0.05). Conclusions It is necessary to be alert to patients whose the first clinical symptom is only cough without fever or cough first and then fever. Laboratory determination indicators(NEUT#,LYMPH#,CRP,SAA,CD3+ cell,CD4+ cell and CD8+ cell) can help clinicians to identify critically ill patients as soon as possible.
