CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts are significantly correlated with absolute lymphocyte count in hospitalized COVID-19 patients: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious respiratory illness that was declared a pandemic in March 2020. Lymphopenia is one of the specific laboratory results disturbance in COVID-19 patients. Such findings are frequently associated with substantial changes in T-cell counts, particularly CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. This study aimed to examine the correlation between CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) in COVID-19 patients and analyze its difference based on the COVID-19 patients' severity.

Methods

From March 2022 to May 2022, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using medical records and laboratory data from patients diagnosed with COVID-19 at our hospital who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The total sampling method
