Aim: To evaluate the role of biomarkers from blood samples of COVID-19 patients admitted in Index Medical College Hospital & R.C.
Material & Methods: Hematological parameters such as Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) & Systemic Inflammatory Index (SII) were studied in RT-PCR positive patients to evaluate the utility of these parameters for early diagnosis of COVID-19.
Results: The study showed that there was statistically significant difference in test groups in reference to Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) & SII values (p 0.05).
Conclusion: Leukocyte, Neutrophil, NLR & SII values can be used in the early diagnosis of COVID-19.
Keywords: NLR, SII, Leukocyte, Neutrophil
