La presente investigación se planteó con el objetivo de describir las características clínicas y del hemograma en pacientes con COVID-19 atendidos en un Hospital de Utcubamba, Amazonas, Perú, durante el periodo de setiembre 2020 a diciembre 2021. La metodología fue observacional, retrospectiva y correlacional, e incluyó a 1033 pacientes hospitalizados con COVID – 19; aplicando la revisión documental y una ficha de recolección de datos; procesando la información con el método analítico descriptivo. El sexo masculino (58,86 %) y edades ≥ 50 años (56,82 %) presentaron mayor frecuencia, los síntomas más comunes, como fiebre/escalofríos (73,52 %), se observaron principalmente en hombres. En el grupo de ≥ 50 años, malestar general y la fiebre/escalofríos (70,36 %) fueron los más frecuentes. El signo hallazgo radiográfico fue el más frecuente en ambos sexos, 17,76 % (hombres) y 14,12 % (mujeres), con mayor presencia en los ≥ 50 años (18,40 %). En las características hematimétricas se evidenció leucocitosis (45,8%), neutrofilia (60,70%), linfopenia (58,86%) y plaquetopenia (21,68%). Se concluye que, los síntomas más frecuentes observados según la edad y el sexo fueron fiebre/escalofríos, malestar general, tos y dificultad respiratoria.
