Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection are characterized by a systemic inflammatory response in acute respiration. The inflammatory response can be checked by laboratory tests with C-Reactive Protein. The purpose of this study was to determine CRP levels in elderly patients with comorbidities who were confirmed positive for Covid-19. This type of research is descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional design using accidental sampling technique obtained a sample of 56 patients. This research was conducted at Pasar Rebo Hospital.
