Brief Summary  

The present study is being undertaken to evaluate the utility of the specific pattern of WBC scattergram as a screening tool for COVID-19 by establishing the sensitivity and specificity of the ‘sandglass pattern’.  No study has been published so far from the Indian subcontinent. Hence, with the present study, we wish to study these graphic displays and whether specific patterns are associated with COVID-19 infection.
