Clinical and biochemical indexes of 11 COVID-19 patients and the genome sequence analysis of the tested SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At present, SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in the world rapidly spread. It is a serious global public health emergency.

Methods

In this study, we described the clinical characteristics of 11 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the Meizhou People's Hospital, and viral genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 from these patients were analyzed.

Results

Of the 11 patients, six cases developed fever, 9 cases developed a cough, and two cases developed headache and chills. Four patients (36.4%) had underlying diseases. Pneumonia is the most common complication. The laboratory test results showed that there were no adult patients with increased lymphocyte/lymphocyte percentage (LYM/LYM%). Most patients had normal total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB), but only two patients had decreased.
