Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of clinical manifestations and comorbidities in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. Patients and methods: This retrospective single-center observational study was conducted in the Tertiary Hospital, Internal Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University. This retrospective observational study was conducted on consecutive 370 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection from May to September 2020.The diagnosis of the cases was confirmed using RT-PCR for detection of the viral RNA. Demographic characteristics, including underlying comorbidities, symptoms, signs, laboratory findings, chest CT scan and treatment measures were reported. Results: According to this retrospective, single-center observational study, which was conducted on consecutive 370 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection? The study involved 193 Egyptian males (52.1%) and 177 Egyptian females (47.9%) with COVID-19. The mean age was 40. 2 ±14.74 years.
