Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of TPSA and FPSA for early detection of COVID-19 and compare it with a control group. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 146 patients from the Respiratory Clinic in Sebha city, 73 of whom have COVID-19 PCR-confirmed and 73 who do not have COVID-19 (group control). Results: The mean and standard division age in the PCR-confirmed COVID-19 group was 61.51±16.40. In the PCR-confirmed COVID-19 group, the mean and standard division serum biomarker level for TPSA was 0.51±.26 ng/ml, and 0.57± 0.32 for FPSA. Conclusion: For the biomarkers TPSA and FPSA, there were no significant differences between the control and PCR-confirmed COVID-19 groups. These findings suggest that the tumor biomarker may be ineffective in detecting COVID-19.
