Alteration of Thyroid Function Tests and Evaluation of Serum Zinc, IgG and IgM Levels in non-hospitalized Iraqi Patients with Corona Virus
Background:SARS-CoV-2 is a novel corona virus that would be responsible for COVID-19 infection and has provoked a worldwide epidemic. Objective: To investigate alteration of thyroid function tests and evaluation of serum zinc, IgG and IgM levels in Iraqi patients with corona virus.Methods:A total of 166 sera, 83 from non-hospitalized asymptomatic patientsdiagnosed with COVID-19 (aged 17–78 years) and 83(aged 18–70 years) from negative healthy individuals, were evaluated for thyroid hormones T 3 ,T 4 and TSH, trace element of zinc, IgM and IgG antibodies.Results: recent study described non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients who developed argumentative results related to thyroid function test, signs of hypozincemia,disturbances in IgG, and IgM levels were started in some of them as compared with healthy group. Conclusion:current study discovered that non-hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 can develop a non-critical state of thyroid function.
