Assessment of Serum L-Ficolin Level as Inflammatory Marker and Its Correlation with Serum C-Reactive Protein, D-Dimer and Ferritin in a Sample of Iraqi COVID-19 Patients

Subject: At the end of December 2019, a COVID-19 outbreak was reported for first time in Wuhan, China. Which quickly expanded throughout China, then to 209 nations across America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. More than 50,000 people have died over one million individuals been afflicted worldwide, with number fast rising. has combated various ways around world. The gold standard diagnosis is real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (reverse transcriptase-polymerase reaction, RT-PCR) viral gene sequencing. Currently, nasopharyngeal swabs from upper respiratory tract are most commonly employed nucleic acid detection samples. Objective Study: To estimate level ficolin covid-19 patient moderate severe disease stage determination (series measurement follow up) find diagnostic tool early detect virus minimize severity further complication. Correlation serum L-ficolin concentrations Serum C-Reactive Protein, D-Dimer Ferritin also Prognostic value will be studied by corelating treatment outcomes month three initial level. Materials Methods: Sixty-two patients involved study both sex male female different age group (18-80 yr.), basal measure at admission (time zero), serial done on day 7 precise monitoring. Results: This shows elevation L-Ficolin survival non-survival group. Conclusion: results showed significant negative correlation between levels duration illness (r = -0.377, p =0.020), however there were no other patient‟s parameters.
