| خلاصه مقاله | Introduction:
COVID-19 is a viral disease related to the respiratory tract. The virus causing this disease is called SARS-CoV2.
Real time RT-PCR is used for specific diagnosis of this virus, but this disease causes changes in some factors that can be used to diagnose this disease. Use of these factors to diagnose COVID-19 becomes more important when, Real time RT-PCR is not possible. CRP is one of these factors that can help a lot in the early diagnosis of this disease.
Method:
We reviewed 200 articles about CRP and COVID-19 and their relationships from January 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021, and finally used the information in 10 of them to write this article.
Results:
In these articles, a total of 2775 patients were evaluated for CRP levels and based on the severity of the disease and symptoms were divided into two groups of severe and non-severe. There were 662 patients in the severe group and 2113 patients in the non-severe group and the average CRP for both groups was calculated. For non-severe group the average was 36.98mg/L and for severe group the average was 72.96 mg/L, while CRP for healthy, mature, and normal subjects is less than 10mg/L.
Conclusion:
Therefore, CRP is a valuable factor for helping in early and easy identification of COVID-19 patients with appropriate accuracy that can be used in less advantaged cities and countries. Also, this protein has a direct relationship with the severity of the disease and its progression. |
