The aim of the study: based on the results of the practical work of the medical organization of primary health care in the context of a pandemic, analyze the distribution and clinical picture of the pathological process of COVID-19 in adult patients.
Materials and research methods. In the conditions of Family Polyclinic No. 3 in Samarkand, the records of 100 patients with coronavirus at the age of 16 and above were examined retrospectively. Statistical data processing was carried out on a personal computer using Microsoft Excel-2003.
The results of the study. The course of the disease was analyzed in the first 100 patients with confirmed COVID-19: 58 (58 %) men and 42 (42 %) women. In 11 (11 %) patients examined by contact with a sick relative, the disease was asymptomatic; 89 % had a mild course of COVID-19 with minor catarrhal symptoms. The largest group of patients who underwent COVID-19 were persons aged 30–55 years (65 %): in 20 % of cases, the patients were older than 65 years.
Conclusions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a large burden falls on outpatient doctors, because 80 % of patients are asymptomatic or mild. Analysis of the clinical picture, data of laboratory parameters allows to diagnose and assess the severity of the disease as early as possible.
