Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a consequential impact on the global health system. Multisystem involvement is common in COVID-19. Many COVID-19 patients also showed changes in haematological parameters. This cross-sectional study included patients who attended the fever clinic of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, with fever and/or upper respiratory symptoms. Demographic information, information regarding symptoms, exposure and comorbidities were collected. Complete blood count profile and C-reactive protein were done. Patients underwent RT-PCR for Covid-19 at the fever clinic. A total of 350 patients were included in the study. The study revealed that 21.4% of respondents were COVID-19 positive. PCR-positive patients were more likely to be symptomatic and had elevated C reactive protein levels. COVID-19 positive patients also showed higher total leucocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, basophil, and platelet count. BSMMU J 2022; 15(2): 75-79

孟加拉国某三级医院发热门诊患者血液学参数和SARS-CoV-2 RT - PCR阳性

新冠肺炎大流行对全球卫生系统产生了重大影响。多系统参与在新冠肺炎中很常见。许多新冠肺炎患者的血液学参数也发生了变化。这项横断面研究包括在孟加拉国达卡Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib医科大学（BSMMU）发热门诊就诊的有发烧和/或上呼吸道症状的患者。收集人口统计学信息、症状、暴露和合并症信息。做了全血细胞计数和C反应蛋白。患者在发热门诊接受了新冠肺炎RT-PCR检测。共有350名患者参与了这项研究。研究显示，21.4%的受访者新冠肺炎呈阳性。PCR阳性患者更有可能出现症状，并且C反应蛋白水平升高。新冠肺炎阳性患者的白细胞、中性粒细胞、淋巴细胞、嗜酸性粒细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞和血小板计数也较高。BSMMU J 2022；15（2）：75-79
