METHODS: According to the polymerase chain reaction and chest computerized tomography results, the study was categorized into three groups. Group 1 (n=87) included the patients with polymerase chain reaction (+), group 2 (n=55) included the patients with polymerase chain reaction (-) and chest computerized tomography (+), and group 3 (n=77) included the patients with polymerase chain reaction (-) and chest computerized tomography (-), respectively. RESULTS: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein and increased age were associated with higher computerized tomography (CT) scores. CONCLUSION: Increased age and C-reactive protein (CRP) may suggest pulmonary infiltration on chest CT in patients with COVID-19.en10.1590/1806-9282.20200938info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCoronavirus disease 2019X-ray computed tomographyDiagnosisC-reactive proteinC-Reactive ProteinBacterial-InfectionProcalcitoninArticle674522528Q3WOS:0006929509000112-s2.0-8511440037834495055N/A
