Abstract

In a series of 30 SARS-COV-2 infected patients whom clinically proven as severe pulmonary infection form. These were found with male/female ratio of 1:1. The age range of below 50 years old account for 60% and those of above 50 years old constitute the remaining 40%. They were the residents of Merjan Teaching Hospital/ Babylon Province/Iraq, to the period of March to April 2021 and primary screen by PCR for Sars-cov-2 RNA genes, in public health central laboratory found to be positive. The over- all laboratory investigation were; D -dimer, Ferritin, LDH, acute phase reactant C, and IL6. LDH was tempted to probe the immune mediated pulmonary tissue injury (367.48 U/L.), ferritin response may indicate hemolytic and acute phase reactant expressed as hyper-inflammation (331.1 ng/L.). |The D-dimer shed a light on the fibrino-lytic responses (6049 ng/L.) post to the immune-thrombotic overreactions, where IL6 levels give a clue to the state of hyper-cytokinemia (171.92 pg/L.). The overall immune status of these patients was as; Hyper-inflammatory and immune overreaction. The inflammatory and immune herd plots were of skewed distribution types.

Keywords: D-dimer; Ferritin; Hyper-cytokinemia; Inflammation; LDH.
