Introduction:

The clinical manifestations of SARS CoV-2 are characterized by several symptoms such as fever, cough, dyspnea, myalgia, fatigue, diarrhea and smell / taste disorders, as well as asymptomatic cases.

Objectives:

To determine the clinical characteristics of the first 60 patients with SARS CoV-2 admitted to the National Hospital (Itauguá, Paraguay) in the period June-August, 2020.

Methodology:

Prospective, non-probabilistic, descriptive observational study of consecutive cases. Male and female patients, over 18 years of age, carriers of SARS CoV-2, admitted to the National Hospital in the period June-August, 2020 were included. Clinical and sociodemographic variables were measured. Ethical aspects were respected.

Results:

Sixty patients with a mean age of 44 ± 16 years were included and 52% of them were male, mostly from the Central Department. Among the symptoms, dyspnea (27%) predominated. The most frequent comorbidity was obesity (40%). Mortality in hospitalized patients was 5%.

Conclusion:

In this sample young adults and males (52%) predominated. The most frequent symptom was dyspnea (27%), the prevailing comorbidity was obesity (40%) and mortality was 5%.
