ABSTRACT
Objective:
Covid-19, which causes an ongoing worldwide epidemic, affects millions of people with the emergence of its variant forms. This study aims to compare the levels of Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1), which can be associated with disease severity in Covid-19 physiopathology, in patients and healthy population, and to determine whether it can be used as a prognostic and predictive marker. Materials andMethods:
43 mild [CT (Computed tomography) (-), (Female=21-Male=22)], 45 severe [CT (+), (Female=20-Male=25)] Covid-19 patients classified according to the disease severity constituted the experimental group of our study. In addition, 88 healthy (Female=46- Male=42) people comprised the control group.
