MR Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreaks
COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus, named by WHO. This
new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.

• Most patients showed decreased Lymphocyte count, increased CRP and decreased Eosinophil count.
• CBC test is primary method to screen suspected COVID-19.

Discussion
A retrospective study was performed on the clinical characteristics of 128 COVID-19 cases with
laboratory-confirmed from Xiangyang No 1 Hospitalad during January 2020 to 16 February 2020
C-reactive protein (CRP) level of all patients were increased markedly, but it in the severe
group was significantly higher than that in the non-severe group ( P < 0.01 ).

Conclusion: NLR is meaningful parameters for prognosis and risk stratification management, which would
be helpful to alleviate insufficient medical resources.

• The left graph is the ROC curve of differentiating moderate and severe patients using blood routine
parameters.
• The positive samples were from severe patients, and the negative samples were from moderate
patients.
• The results show that NLR is the best single parameter for distinguishing moderate and severe types,
and its AUC is 0.89.
CBC
◆ Routine CBC test is primary screening method for COVID-19 disease.
CRP
◆ CBC test + CRP + NLR support COVID-19 prognosis. NLR
➢ CRP, an inflammation response protein, plays an active role in COVID-19
screening and prognosis.
➢ NLR is meaningful parameters for prognosis and risk stratification
management, which is intended to alleviate insufficient medical
resources.
➢ NLR & CRP is great of prognostic value, which can be used for
treatment monitoring.
