SARS- COV 2 is a viral infection which emerged in Wuhan in December 2019 and later on spread like a wild fire across the globe. CT scan turned out to be a corner stone in early identification and triaging of such patients and ensuring treatment at the earliest as well as in monitoring of disease progression. Biomarkers indicating rapid deterioration in COVID-19 patients are mostly represented by , CRP, D-dimer, and IL-6 Materials and Methods: A study on 100 RT-PCR positive patients admitted in in GMC KOTA. All the data was collected along with their baseline sp02, CT severity score (CTSS) and the studied biomarkers (CRP, D-dimer, IL-6. Results: The severity of disease as per HRCT was correlated with the oxygen saturation which showed the lowest mean oxygen saturation in patients with CTSS > 14 (79.85 ±11.83, P =0.0001) and CTSS |
