Aim: This study aimed to report laboratory findings of PCR and antibody research in suspect Covid-19 patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 4206 patients with suspected Covid-19 and respiratory tract infection and 232 patients with mild clinical presentations such as cold who were admitted in hospitals were included in the study. After clinical examinations and radiological screenings, PCR tests of 4206 patients and antibody surveys of the 232 patients who were not hospitalized due to having only mild symptoms were carried out. For antibody detection, the plasmas of the EDTA-containing blood samples that were collected from the patients who were treated for Covid-19 and patients who were not treated due to having no symptoms or mild symptoms were separated and analyzed. The ‘Coronavirus disease IgM/IgG Rapid Test were used for the detection of antibodies. Antibody screenings were repeated three times 10, 17 and 24 days after the patients were diagnosed with Covid-19. Results: The suspected Covid-19 were aged between 27 and 87 years and 2004 of the individuals were female (48%) and 2202 of the individuals were male (52%). Of 4206 plasma samples, 276 samples (6.56%) were RT-PCR-positive. Of the patients who had a positive PCR and were treated for Covid-19, 104 patients (37.68%) were female and 172 patients (62.32%) were male. Conclusion: It is observed that death rates due to Covid-19 are more moderate in patients living in a cold climate and showing flu symptoms several times a year. Our study is in the form of some of the data of our region in order to shed light on future studies on this subject.
