Objectives: We designed this study to identify laboratory and radiological parameters, which could be useful to guide the clinician, in the evaluation of a suspected case of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). Methods: This retrospective, observational, single-center-study recruited patients with a suspect of COVID-19 data were extracted from electronic medical records using a standardized data collection form. Results: A total of 566 patients with suspect COVID-19 infection were enrolled (280 were COVID-19+). The COVID-19 population was characterized with bilateral-pneumonia, a lower count of neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte, a lower neutrophil to lymphocyte-ratio (NLR). Lower of platelet count, d-dimer, troponin I, and serum calcium were in COVID-19 patients.
