  • Introduction: Corona virus is one of the group of viruses that play an important role in causing respiratory diseases. Covid-19 is one of the most important viral diseases in the current decade, which has caused a widespread pandemic in the world. This disease was first reported on December 17, 2018 from Wuhan, China, among patients with severe pneumonia symptoms.
  • Methods: The current study is a descriptive-cross-sectional type. In this study, the primary diagnosis of COVID-19 was made by the treating doctors. 250 blood samples were collected in clot tubes. The samples were tested for lactate dehydrogenase parameters using an autoanalyzer. .
  • Results: Based on the results obtained from the number of 250 samples examined, 138 cases (55.2%) of their lactate dehydrogenase levels were higher than the normal value. 50 cases (20%) had a decrease and also in 62 cases (24.8%) of the samples. No change in their value was observed.
  • Conclusion: In the current study, according to the measured parameter (lactate dehydrogenase) in people infected with the SARS-COVID-2 virus, it was found that this virus can have different physiological effects in different people and one of its side effects is related to the increase in the amount of lactate dehydrogenase. Therefore, it seems necessary to conduct additional studies.
