Introduction: COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Thrombotic complications appear to be of particular importance in patients with COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate Changes in the level of Antiphospholipid antibodies (Anticardiolipin and Anti-β2-glycoprotein-I) and thromboembolic indices in COVID-19 patients during 3 weeks. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on adults with Covid-19 hospitalized at Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan. The case group includes the patients admitted to the internal ward or ICU who despite receiving prophylactic or anticoagulant doses suffer from thrombotic complications and the control group includes COVID-19 patients without thromboembolic events. The sample size of 120 people was considered. Anticardiolipin and anti-β2-glycoprotein-I antibodies, coagulation profiles including Fibrinogen, PTT, PT Troponin, ESR, CRP, and D-dimer were examined. After collection, the data were entered into spss24 software and analyzed. Results: The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the changes of anticardiolipin and anti-beta-2 glycoprotein in IgM and IgG as well as in the changes of ESR, CRP, PTT, PT, and fibrinogen in the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Our study showed that there was no statistically significant relationship between anti-phospholipid antibodies (anticardiolipin and anti-beta-2 glycoprotein) and thromboembolic events. Therefore anticardiolipin and anti-beta-2 glycoprotein is probably the puzzles causing thrombosis in COVID-19 patients, and other inflammatory responses should be examined among the cases.
