Abstract：Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases in Zhengzhou City so as to provide a basis for developing intervention measures. Methods We collected the data about epidemiological survey and reports of COVID-19 confirmed cases in Zhengzhou City from January 21, 2020 to February 20, 2020, and analyzed the patients’ demographic information, clinical types, clinical manifestations, outcomes, etc. Results A total of 157 COVID-19 confirmed cases were reported in Zhengzhou City, including 152 cured cases and 5 death cases. The average age was (42.58±16.96) years old, and 40 (25.48%) cases had basic disease. There were 132 (84.08%) slight cases and 25 (15.92%) severe cases. The main clinical manifestations were fever (85.99%), dry cough (34.39%), fatigue (29.30) and expectoration (22.03%). Most of the fever cases presented with high-grade or low-grade fever (92.59%). Blood routine examinations showed that the total number of leukocytes (96.67%) and lymphocyte count (96.00%) were normal or decreased. Chest CT tests in 94.33% of the patients displayed the features of COVID-19 pneumonia, with lung lesions mainly exhibiting ground-glass opacity. Conclusion The majority of the confirmed cases in Zhengzhou City were slight cases, and fever was the main manifestation. Early detection, intervention and treatment are crucial to COVID-19 patients, especially to advanced age patients with basic disease.
