Study population: After the required information concerning the study was provided both to the patient group and to the healthy control group, the written consent forms were obtained from all the subjects who agreed to participate in the study. Once these subjects were assessed in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients who were diagnosed with Covid-19 infection according to WHO guideline as a result of clinical evaluation in the emergency department and whose diagnosis was confirmed by RT-PCR were included in the study. The healthy volunteers with no known chronic or acute disease or drug use as well as no recent history of infection were included study as the control group. Once these subjects were assessed in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, they were divided into four groups as the CT (-), PCR (+) SARS-CoV-2 infection group, Covid-19 (+) Pneumonia Group, CT (+), PCR (-) Suspected Pneumonia Group and Healthy group (Control Group).

| CT (+), PCR (-) Covid-19 Suspected Pneumonia Group | This group consisted of patients who applied to the emergency department with symptoms of Covid-19, whose thorax CT according to RSNAEC criteria showed typical Covid-19 pneumonia findings, but whose RT-PCR test was negative in the swab sample taken in the emergency room. The exclusion criteria consisted of diagnosis of kidney and liver failure, acute pulmonary embolism, chronic inflammatory disease history (rheumatological disease, autoimmune disease), pregnancy, presence of any cancer diagnosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma disease, and history of cerebrovascular disease.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Covid19 and Pneumonia, run by Kafkas University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
