Abstract:   (2074 Views)

Background and Objective: In December 2019, a new type of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan and quickly spread worldwide. This study was designed to investigate the clinical symptoms of the COVID-19 patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we collected data of 132 COVID-19 dead patients. Demographic, epidemiological, and clinical data and laboratory test results were analyzed on days 1, 3, and 6 of admission.
Results: Most cases were in the 66-75 age group, 64.39% of which were males. Three days after admission, 55.3% of patients died. The most frequent clinical manifestations were dry cough (70.45%) and fever (54.54%), which increased during hospitalization. Diabetes and blood pressure were reported as the most prevalent underlying diseases. Lymphopenia and an increase in leucocyte number were observed in most patients. ESR (92.5%) and LDH (94.64%) levels were above normal. Furthermore, 42.85% and 44.73% of patients had elevated ALT and AST levels, respectively.
Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that males are more likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-19. Underlying diseases were common among patients and clinical and laboratory symptoms aggravated with a rise in hospitalization time.
