Introduction: There are insufficient studies in the literature on the relationship between the acute severity of the disease and the occurrence of anemia and telogen effluvium (TE) in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) period.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between anemia and TE in individuals who have experienced COVID-19 during the post-COVID period.
Method: The study has a retrospective, cross-sectional design and was conducted on patient presented to a tertiary care hospital for COVID-19 follow-up. Patient data, including demographic parameters, data regarding smoking history, comorbidities, symptoms and laboratory panel at presentation, were evaluated.
Results: Out of of 672 patients, 249 had TE complaints. TE was more common in women, those under the average age of this patient group, and those with a body mass index of under 25. Anemia was identified in 80 patients. Among individuals with anemia, TE is observed in 47.3%, whereas among those without anemia, the occurrence of TE is noted at a rate of 35.5%. When the severity of infection in the acute phase was examined in relation to the presence of TE in the post-COVID period, TE was observed in 45.1% of those receiving outpatient treatment, 37.0% of those hospitalized and 30.7% of those in intensive care.
Conclusion: The results obtained in this study group indicate that TE complaints after COVID-19 are more common in those with anemia, but the fact that they were not correlated with the acute diseases’ severity requires consideration of other causes besides the virus effect.
