It was observed a greater increase on inflammation and thrombotic factors in males. The treatment consisted of antipyretic, antiplatelet agents, antimicrobial and steroids. The supplementary oxygen requirement was similar in women and men; however, the oxygen saturation was higher in women. Conclusion: The rate of 140 positive cases of COVID-19, with symptomatology property of the disease. With inflammatory and thrombotic parameters increase.
