ABSTRACT
Background: We prospectively studied 160 patients of asymptomatic covid 19 infection for their clinical course and outcome. Methods: Demographic and clinical characteristics from the 160 asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive patients were obtained over a period of 3 months. Results: Overall, mean age of the patients was 35.66 years. HYPERTENSION was the commonest comorbidity. However, 142 patients (88.75%) were found to be without any co-morbidities.17 patients (10.6%) developed symptoms on 3rd day whereas 7.5%, 6.8%, 3.7% and 1.2% became symptomatic on 2nd, 4th, 1st and 5th day respectively. Conclusion: Cough was the most common symptom seen followed by fever, sore throat, generalized weakness and dyspnea. Asymptomatic patients were mostly without any comorbidities and hence remained asymptomatic and overall outcome was better.
