AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates laboratory findings in 101 COVID-19 patients compared to 101 healthy individuals, providing insight into how these findings might influence disease progression.
- The results indicated significant abnormalities in blood parameters among patients, including low white blood cell counts and high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP).
- The conclusion emphasizes the importance of monitoring these laboratory indicators for early identification and intervention in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
Article Abstract
Background & Objective: Since December 2019 in Wuhan, China there is a new form of pneumonia and after expansion in other countries, World Health Organization (WHO) called it Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since the clinical laboratory findings have played an important role in the progression of the disease, this study aimed to evaluate the laboratory findings in COVID-19 patients (before vaccination).
Methods: In this case-control study that was conducted from February to August 2020; the laboratory test status in 101 positive COVID-19 patients was evaluated and compared with 101 healthy individuals.
Results: The results of our study showed that 21% of patients had low WBC, 24.75% low RBC, 37.62%, low Hb, 18.81% with low HCT, 29.7%, low Plt, 41.58% had High PT, 71.29% high CRP, 17.82% high urea, 11.88% high CR, 15.84% high LDH, 10.89% low sodium, 14.75% low potassium (K). The quantitative examination of blood factors showed that lymph%, mixed%, PLT, HCT, Hb, and RBC were higher in the control group than in the case group. While Neu%, WBC, PTT, CRP, UREA, LDH, K in the patient group were higher than in the control group.
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that in the clinical treatment of COVID-19 patients, much attention should be paid to the laboratory indicators to identify and intervene early in critically ill patients.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and migration [1]. It forms a homodimer or heterodimer with other ErbB receptor family members to activate downstream signaling. Emerging evidence indicates that the EGFR activity and downstream signaling are regulated by other proteins except its family members during tumorigenesis.
