Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the role of biomarkers from blood samples of COVID-19 patients admitted in Index Medical College Hospital & R.C.

Material & Methods: Hematological parameters such as Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) & Systemic Inflammatory Index (SII) were studied in RT-PCR positive patients to evaluate the utility of these parameters for early diagnosis of COVID-19.

Results: The study showed that there was statistically significant difference in test groups in reference to Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) & SII values (p<0.05). But no statistically significant difference was observed between test groups in reference to Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Leukocyte, Neutrophil, NLR & SII values can be used in the early diagnosis of COVID-19.
