Aim: to know the start of COVID-19 in Ain shams University hospitals (El-Demerdash) in Severe acute respiratory illness.
Materials and methods: retrospective collection of data records and previously collected nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal sample stored in our lab for determining the start of COVID-19 in our hospitals, using RT-PCR and postive samples we will conduct Sequencing analysis and photogenic analysis. Also epidemiological and data study of the negatively screened patients, to determine the most common causes of SARI and the causes of mortality in this category of patients
