First remarkable findings in comparison of patients in Siirt / Turkey in novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (Covid-19) associated with human to human transmission and severe human infection has been recently reported from the city of Wuhan in China Hubei Province. The first Covid-19 in Turkey comparative findings of their patients can help spread the infection, early diagnosis, treatment and control. This study in Turkey Siirt State Hospital in Covid-19 diagnosed patients and 12 healthy normal consists of 12 patients. Data from electronic medical records were taken retrospectively and patient and control group data were compared statistically. Statistically decreased lymphocyte (1.23 ± 0.66), WBC (5.00 ± 1.50), neutrophil (3.32 ± 1.77), platelets (175.08 ± 44.18) in Covid-19 patients compared to the control group and increased D-Dimer (595.08 ± 185.87), ferritin (236.31 ± 50.36), CRP (12.43 ± 4.31), lactate (1.37 ± 0.39), CK (189.50 ± 63.66) levels, other clinical findings and CT images were found to be compatible with Covid-19. This study is the first comparative study on pandemic Covid-19 in Siirt/Turkey. These prognostic parameters are important for a specific clinical diagnosis, which may contribute to reflect the evolution of CT findings and the severe course of the disease and the worst clinical picture.
