Tests: CD4 cell count is significantly lower (p < 0.05) in severe cases of pneumonia due to COVID-19; In contrast, AST, CRP, LDH, Ferrtin, D-dimer were significantly increased in patients with severe pneumonia due to COVID-19. Most of the lung CT lesions were found in many lung lobes (83.7%) and mainly focused on the lower lobes of the lungs on both sides with the common images being blurred glass (74.4%) and interstitial pneumonia (36.8%).
