Background Recent studies have investigated the importance of Galetin-3 in inflammation, fibrosis, cell proliferation, cardiac disease, diabetes, and tumor formation. Aims This study aims to investigate the role of the Galectin-3 level in the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia and the value of the Galectin-3 level in predicting the clinical course of the patient. Methods This study employed a prospective, case-control study design and was conducted at Bakircay University Ciğli Training and Research Hospital.

This study aims to determine the clinical predictivity value of blood AnxA1 levels in patients with mild and severe-critical pneumonia induced by COVID-19.
Methods: This study employed a prospective, case-control study design and was conducted at Ankara Training and Research hospital between 10 February 2021 and 15 March 2021.
Introduction: To our knowledge, the diagnostic value of the sP-Selectin level in the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease has not yet been investigated. In this study, we aimed to assess this by evaluating the relationship between sP-Selectin level and the clinical severity of COVID-19 infections.
Methods: A total of 80 patients (50 with mild to moderate and 30 with severe COVID-19 pneumonia), and 60 non-symptomatic healthy volunteers participated in the study.
