The thorax tomography finding can be detected earlier in the disease before the polymerase chain reaction test. The sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction test varies according to the tester, the way of performing it, and the quality of the test. Therefore, especially in patients with polymerase chain reaction negative and thorax tomography findings, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and platelet lymphocyte ratio levels should be evaluated, and patients should be followed up upon suspicion of COVID-19 diagnosis.
