Abstract

Background: The The novel coronavirus from the Coronaviridae family, which was promptly named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), was swiftly identified as the causative agent of this unusual sickness. The purpose of this research was to examine the typical stroke processes in order to assess the short-term outcomes of individuals who had a stroke linked with SARS-CoV-2. Approach: One hundred individuals hospitalized with acute stroke at Banha University Hospital were part in this observational research. One subset of the study's participants was the patients: A total of 38 patients with acute stroke and a positive SARS COV-2 PCR nasal sample were included in the study. The control group consisted of 62 patients with acute stroke who did not have a positive SARS COV-2 PCR sample. Findings: The patient group required considerably more low flow oxygen (p value < 0.001). There were notable disparities in the lymphocytic count (p value < 0.001), hemoglobin level (p value < 0.001), D dimer (p value < 0.001), and CRP (p value < 0.001) between the sick group and the control group. Researchers found that stroke patients with COVID-19 had lower total leukocytic counts, lymphocytic counts.
