Abstract: Background: Covid-19 can Cause Various Conditions Including respiratory, enteric, and neurological
diseases, and led to a pandemic that has affected millions worldwide. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive
study conducted at Shendi teaching hospital which is located in Shendi town in Sudan to evaluate Haematological
parameters and D. Dimer in patients with Covid-19 Infection in the period between May to September 2021. The study
included (50) patients who were diagnosed with Covid-19 Infection and the study groups were compared with (50)
healthy volunteers as a control group. 50 venous blood samples as case and 50 as control transferred into Tri sodium
citrate and EDTA anticoagulant. Data was collected using a questionnaire and the (SPSS) version (22) program was
used for data analysis. Results: The study revealed that the Covid-19 Infection patients were; (60%) males and (40)
females. Complete blood count (CBC) indicated the mean values of Hb, PCV, RBCs, MCV, MCH, MCHC, in case
group were (12.5 g/dl), (38.9%), (4.5x1012/l), (86.7 fl), (27.7 pg) and (32.0 g/dl) respectively. Also prevailed the mean
of TWBCs, Neutrophil, lymphocyte, MID, Absolute Neutrophil, Absolute lymphocyte, Absolute MID, were (13.09x
109 /l), (79.27%), (11.79%), (8.77%), (10.38), (1.54), and (1.16) respectively. The study revealed the mean of platelet,
D.dimer (296.63x 109 /l), (6.07ug/ml), respectively. Conclusions: Covid-19 Infection is responsible for significant
changes in hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, total white
blood cells count differential and absolute neutrophils count and differential and absolute lymphocytes count and D.
dimer.
