Acute respiratory distress syndrome

older age, neutrophilia, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase and D-dimer levels
increased the risks of ARDS and death

Cardiac concerns

The risk of cardiac injury, evidenced by increased troponin levels, was up


to 22% in ICU patients. Interestingly, up to 12% of patients without known
cardiovascular disease had elevated troponin levels or experienced cardiac
arrest during hospitalization for COVID-19. The pathophysiology of injury is
under investigation, but some presentations seem related to cytokine
storm.

Diagnostics

The test is a real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction


(rRT-PCR) assay that can be used to diagnose the virus in respiratory and
serum samples from clinical specimens

Upper respiratory tract specimens have been reported to contain a smaller


viral load than lower respiratory tract specimens do. If PCR tests are
negative for SARS-CoV-2 using upper respiratory tract specimens despite
persistent clinical suspicion, the WHO recommends retesting using lower
respiratory tract specimens

Laboratory findings in patients with COVID-19


Leukopenia, leukocytosis, and lymphopenia were common among early cases. [32, 72] 
Lactate dehydrogenase and ferritin levels are commonly elevated
