Abstract
COVID-19 patients commonly present with lower respiratory symptoms with other systemic involvement. Haematological manifestation such as low haemoglobin, thrombocytopenia, lymphocytopenia also common in COVID19 patients. In this study, we investigated prevalence, association with serum ferritin in post COVID-19 anaemic patients, after human umbilical cord blood transfusion in relation to control group. Among 155 COVID-19 RT-PCR positive patients 36 (23%) was anaemic. In our study 18 patients was transfused human umbilical cord blood, 12 patients were treated with haematinics and 6 patients denied taking any of the above. In most cases anaemia was moderate to severe that may be due to inflammation or due to pre-existing iron deficiency.Umbilical cord blood transfusion to post COVID -19 patients for the treatment of anaemia because of the unique composition of UCB. Haematological analysis and serum ferritin estimation reflecting the treatment out come in post COVID-19 anaemic patients. There was a difference between the dependent variable's serum ferritin (p <.001) in anaemic COVID-19 patients. In conclusion, our result highlight serum ferritin is widely used in diagnosis and monitoring of COVID-19 disease.
