Journal Title: TMR Integrative Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The clinical features and test results of 2019-nCoV pneumonia (COVID-19) were analyzed retrospectively in order to understand the diagnostic significance of clinical test index, and to summarize the experience of clinical treatment. Methods: From February 10thto February 28th, 2020, 54 patients with COVID-19 from Wuhan Red Cross hospital were included, whose clinical data were analyzed and integrated. The clinical manifestation and laboratory examination were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis. Results: The average age of the patients was 63.9 years (40–84 years). The median time from onset to diagnosis was 6.5 days (2–20 days), and the median time from onset to first hospitalization was 8 days (3–20 days).The main manifestations were that the percentage of neutrophil increased and the number of lymphocyte decreased in most cases. Most of them were combined with liver damage and myocardial cell damage, and chest CT showed lesion of bilateral lung. Conclusion: In addition to the nucleic acid test of 2019-nCoV, some laboratory tests may indicate COVID-19 in the early stages. The clinician may conduct repeated follow-up examinations to assess the progress and outcome of the disease.
