The researchers at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Basrah, Dr. Iman Tariq Ali and Dr. Azza Sajid, published a paper titled (Extensive Study on Hematological, Immunological, Inflammatory Markers, and Biochemical Profile to Identify the Risk Factors in COVID-19 Patients) in the International Journal of Inflammation CiteScore7.700 and within the second quarter of the Scopus ranking.
The study included detection of tissue damage caused by COVID-19 infection by several clinical indicators including immunological, inflammatory, hematological and biochemical factors.
The study aims to reveal these clinical criteria through the relationship between factors and their roles in the development of COVID-19, and to explore which factors are more dangerous that exacerbate the disease in severe cases.
The study found that Covid-19 patients suffer from leukocytosis, with an increase in the number of neutrophils and a decrease in the number of lymphocytes.
