Abstract

Abstract

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of patients with fever during the coronavirus disease 2019 situation, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of the disease. Methods Patients who visited the fever clinic of the fourth affiliated hospital of Anhui medical university from January 20, 2020 to February 18 were selected. The survey included general demographic characteristics, main clinical symptoms and signs, and laboratory tests. Patients diagnosed with suspected COVID-19 were investigated for their epidemiological history. Results A total of 880 patients included in this study during the survey period. In the 880 patients, 42 were clinically diagnosed as suspected COVID-19. The ratio of male to female patients was 1.61:1, mainly young and middle-aged. There was significant difference of age between patients with suspected COVID-19 and other patients (t=4.546, P < 0.001). Most patients in the suspected COVID-19 group and the common patients group visited the doctor within 1 to 7 days, and both groups mainly had low fever. Reduced lymphocyte count was found in 32 suspected COVID-19 patients (76.2%), and elevated cevels of c-reactive protein was found in 39 suspected COVID-19 patients (92.9%). Conclusions Prediction based on the clinical characteristics of suspected COVID-19 patients, laboratory tests and other results can facilitate strict medical isolation and observation of suspected patients and may contribute to disease control and prevention.
