A significant association between serum IgG/IgM and ICU admission was observed. Although serum ferritin and LDH can offer information about the extent of inflammation, they are exclusive factors for ICU admission.

Significant differences in the Hb, WBC, Lymphocyte count, CRP and serum ferritin (p < 0.05) were observed. Patients' IgM/IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 were associated with increased CRP, LDH and serum ferritin levels. Standard analytical and molecular methods were used to assess various inflammatory and serological Responses among COVID-19 patients (ICU- (n = 99) and non-ICU patients (n = 64) as compared with health control (n = 40).
