Resume

In this article, the level of ferritin in the blood of patients infected with Covid-19 infection was evaluated according to the degree of complications. Research was conducted among 212 patients diagnosed with Covid-19. Patients were divided into 2 groups, those with complications and those without complications, male and female. Increased ferritin levels due to cytokine storm and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis were found in observed patients. The analysis of the obtained results showed that the level of ferritin in the blood increased more in the group of female patients with complications than in the other group, and this was statistically honest with the Mann-Whitney test. Analysis of blood samples showed that the mean level of ferritin in the blood was 742.5±65.2 μg/L. In conclusion, changes in blood ferritin levels were found to be of prognostic importance in the course of infection and should be shown to have a special role among inflammatory markers.

Key words: Covid-19, complication rate, pneumonia; the inflammatory cytokines; ferritin
