Abstract
he World Health Organization (WHO) announced a standard format of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19), according to its nomenclature, for this novel coronavirus pneumonia on February 11, 2020 (World Health Organization Press Conference, 2020).
SARS-CoV-2 infection is still spreading, and this virus poses a serious threat to public health, though joint prevention and quarantine mechanisms in almost all provinces of mainland China have been confirmed to be enacted. Due to a lack of specific antiviral treatments and pressure of clinical treatment, thousands of severe cases have died every day worldwide (Gorbalenya et al., 2020).
COVID 19 as a current pandemic which lead to fatal consequences took high concern in research work. This study was done to show the severity of HRCT chest in COVID 19 patients and its correlation CBC indicies among sample of Egyptians. 30 patients were recruited from April to October 2021 in Ain Shams University isolation hospitals (Isolation Field Hospital). All COVID 19 patients confirmed to be positive by PCR for COVID 19 were included except those with underlying chronic pulmonary disease, old radiological shadow, hematological disorder and chronic steroid use due to any cause full history taking, through clinical examination, HRCT chest, CBC and other COVID 19 related inflammatory markers. Data was collected, analyezed and correlated.
Among the 30 COVID 19 patients included it was found that 18 (60%) of them were males. Their ages were 54.833± 13.097 ranging from 25 to 85 years old, 20 (66.6%) have no comorbidities, the others have HTN, HTN& DM, HTN&IHD, Bipolar disorder and spine deformity representing (6.67%, 6.67%, 6.67%, 6.67% and 3.33%) respectively.
This was nearly in agreement with Yang et al., (2020), who retrospectively studied 52 critically ill adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Wuhan Jin Yin-tan hospital (Wuhan, China) between late December, 2019, and Jan 26, 2020. With SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and found that the mean age of the 52 patients was 59·7 (SD 13·3) years, 35 (67%) were men.
This was hand in hand with Abbasi et al., (2021) who studied 262 patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia which was done in a large tertiary referral academic hospital They found that the median age of patients was 58 (43–67) years, ranging from 20 to 97 years. Most of the patients were males (65.6%).
