Prognostic Value of Leukocytosis and Lymphopenia for Coronavirus Disease Severity - Volume 26, Number 8—August 2020 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

To evaluate lymphopenia as a marker for coronavirus disease severity, we conducted a meta-analysis of 10 studies. Severe illness was associated with lower lymphocyte and higher leukocyte counts. Using these markers for early identification of patients with severe disease may help healthcare providers prioritize the need to obtain therapy.
