Abstract
Background: Various diagnostic tests across COVID-19 literatures were employed as surrogate markers in COVID-19, wherein interleukin-6 (IL-6) - gauge for cytokine storm or impending severity - is not readily available. Objectives: This study determined the clinical high levels of CRP (> 1.85 mg/dL), LDH (> 644.85 U/L), and ferritin (> 621.4 ng/mL) have high predilection to become severe or O2-requiring in the course of infection. Utmost caution and monitoring at the onset are warranted.
