Introduction: since the COVID-19, it causes many hospitalization and deaths, especially in immunocompromised patients. Yeast infections occur most commonly as a secondary infection in immunocompromised individuals. However, the diagnosis of fungal infections is controversial,. Hematologic parameters in COVID-19 patients affected by yeast infections can predict prognosis and may help patient treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the hamatological parameters in COVID-19 patients associated with yeast infections.
Methods: 1531 COVID-19 patients were examined . Hematological factors such as platelets, White blood cells and D-dimer evaluated for any yeast infections. All data were analyzed by IBM SPSS statistics 22 software, and for comparison between two groups, student's t-tests were used.
Results: The average age of patients was 60.37% years, of which (47.9%) 732 were female and (52.1%) 796 were male. Among the 1531 COVID-19 patients ,227 (14.8%) showed yeast infections. hematological factors showed a significant relationship between two groups of COVID-19 patients and COVID-19 patients with yeast infections.
Conclusion: hematological factors can give a valuable for the detection of yeast infections.
