    Objective: To determine the relationship between the neutrophil-lymphocyte index and serum ferritin levels in COVID-19 positive patients attended at the SEMEDIC medical center, from May 2020 to February 2021. Materials and methods: A descriptive, correlational, observational (non-experimental) study was conducted with 43 patients, using non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The participants had a positive antigen test result for SARS-CoV-2, a hemogram report, and serum ferritin measurement. A data collection form was used, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 and Excel 2019, with descriptive tables and bar graphs. Results: A moderate correlation was found between serum ferritin levels and the neutrophil-lymphocyte index in COVID-19 positive patients attended at SEMEDIC. The average age was 53 years, with 58% male and 42% female. Differences in hemogram values were observed. Neutrophilia and lymphopenia were noted. The average ferritin level was 449 ng/ml, and the neutrophil-lymphocyte index was 2.4. Conclusion: A moderate correlation exists between serum ferritin levels and the neutrophil-lymphocyte index in COVID-19 positive patients attended at SEMEDIC (p=0.002); Spearman's Rho = 0.468.
