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.
