Laboratory parameters:
Table 2 compares the laboratory parameters of patients with positive and
negative RT-PCR results. There were many similarities in laboratory
findings between positive and negative RT-PCR groups, among which WBC
(p=0.001), lymphocyte count (p = 0.001) and Hb (p=0.008) were
statistically significant.
In positive RT-PCR group, white blood cell median (IQR) was 5.4
(4.2-6.8), lymphocyte count median (IQR) was 1.1 (0.879-1.4) and Hb mean
was 13.7 (1.6). In negative RT-PCR group, the following values were as
follows: white blood cell median (IQR) 5.4 (4.2-6.8), lymphocyte count
median (IQR) 1.1(0.8-1.4) and Hb (mean ±SD) 13.7 (1.6).
