ABSTRACT
The third wave of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is causing damage all over the world, especially in Pakistan and India. Although vaccines are available and preventive measures are being taken, but SARS-CoV-2 is unstoppable. Currently, there are around 841,636 positive cases in Pakistan and 18,429 deaths, whereas, in India, both are high. From April 8th to 12th, 2021, nasopharyngeal swabs of 190 patients were submitted to PRL (PACP) lab for the SARS-CoV-2 testing, and blood samples were collected at the Mayo Hospital lab for ferritin, D-dimers, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and C-reactive protein (CRP) testing. This study observed that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was more likely in individuals aged 51-60 than 61-70. In addition, our study found that COVID-19 patients exhibited a statistically significant increase in levels of ferritin, D-dimers, LDH, and CRP. In addition, this study revealed that SARS-CoV-2 relapsed. Furthermore, we concluded that these biochemical parameters are useful indicators for severity of COVID-19.
