We aimed to compare clinical and laboratory findings of the SARS CoV-2 patients with mild pulmonary involvement to those in subjects with advanced pulmonary involvement.
 Material and Methods: In this study, the relationship between hemogram indices and pulmonary involvement in patients hospitalized for SARS CoV-2 infection at Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University Hospital was investigated. We analyzed the thorax CT images of the subjects with SARS CoV-2 in present retrospective study. Radiological pattern of disease-related in the lungs, percentage of lung involvement, hemogram parameters, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), aspartate and alanine transaminases (AST and ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), D-dimer, ferritin, total bilirubin, albumin, creatinine kinase, serum creatinine in patients with advanced and mild pulmonary involvement were compared. 
 Results: Advanced pulmonary involvement (greater than 50%) was positively and significantly correlated with ESR, (r=0.32, p
