Abstract

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection was first reported in 2019, and has since spread throughout the world. Objective: Determine prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and concentrations of some paraclinical tests in infected patients. Methods: Descriptive   cross-sectional   study   on   600 patients examined and treated at general hospital Ninh Thuan from January to September 2022. Results: 33/600 patients were confirmed to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 (5.5%), male 4.8% and female 5.8%, median age of infected patients is 36 years. Most infections were mild (75.8%), the median WBC count in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 was 4.600/mm3, lymphocytes 1.100/mm3, platelets 180.000/mm3, hemoglobin 12.2 g/dl, CRP > 10 mg% accounted for 9.1%, ferritin 200 ng/mL, there were difference in the median white blood cell count; lymphocytes; ferritin between the 2 groups mild and moderate with severe (p<0.05). The cut-off point to determine the moderate and severe disease in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 of lymphocytes ≥ 900/mm3 (AUC=0.8, p<0.01, sensitivity 92%, specificity 88%) and ferritin ≥ 266 ng/ml (AUC=0.9, p<0.001, sensitivity 88%, specificity 92%). Conclusion: Approximately 5.5% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 come to examination and treatment at hospital. Lymphocytes and ferritin are valuable in determining moderate and severe disease in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
