Abstract
WHO declared COVID-19 infection as a pandemic since 2020. A rapid noninvasive examination is needed for screening and diagnostic. Exhaled Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) is a sample directly connected to the affected organ, which is the lung, and can be measured as an endogenous volatile marker resulted from oxidative stress. This study aims to analyze differences in VOC concentration in COVID-19 patients with pneumonia and without pneumonia. This Case Control Study used 93 confirmed case samples of COVID-19 and 42 healthy subject. Demographic and clinical data taken from anamnesis and/or medical records. VOC’s data of respiratory track are taken through the exhalation air in a bag and analyzed with breathanalyzer. Statistical analysis was conducted using Mann-Whitney test. In the analysis of confirmed samples of COVID-19 between pneumonia and without pneumonia, co components were found to affect the incidence of pneumonia in confirmed samples of COVID-19 (p=0.003). This conclusion is Components of CO in confirmed COVID-19 have a meaningful effect on an event of pneumonia.
