| Abstract | Background: Recently, a novel coronavirus was reported from Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The novel coronavirus infection was spread from China to other countries, including Iran. Objectives: We report the clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and chest exams of infected patients. Methods: All patients suspected to the novel coronavirus were hospitalized in a special airborne protection room. We collected and analyzed the characteristics of confirmed patients by data extraction from electronic medical records. Results: The Computerized Tomography (CT) scan and radiography results showed ground glass in the lung of patients, and real-time PCR confirmed the infection. The myocardial and liver function tests showed abnormalities in infected patients. Conclusions: Most patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) showed respiratory problems, and their infection was confirmed by virological tests and chest images. The main reason for the patient’s death was the signs of acute heart failure, such as hypotension and cardiac arrhythmia. | en |
