Relation Between D-Dimer Level And Lymphocyte Cells Count With People Infected With Covid-19 In Al- Amariah City

Abstract

The study aimed at the Covid-19 infection causes increase of D- dimer level and decrease the level of the lymphocyte cell count in the early diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. In the present study that was carried out in Amariah city from 1st of July to 1st of October 2020, a total of 100 people (60 infected group with COVID-19 and 40 control group without Covid-19) who were admitted to AL-Amariah Hospital whose ages were between 15-75 years. Patients were investigated for the detection of COVID-19 by using Real-Time PCR. The current study showed that the infection with COVID-19 is affected by the age factor of the patient. The highest rate of a patient with COVID-19 was within the age groups 41- 49 and >50 years with a highly significant relation between COVID-19 and age. The results showed highly significant increase of D dimer level in infected group comparison with control group and significant decrease of lymphocyte count in infected group compression with control group.
