- Abstract
It is widely reported in the literature that CD4, CD8, and total T cell count are significantly reduced in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).1-4 Pallotto et al.5 analyzed CD4/CD8 ratio in 38 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (reff). CD3 lymphocyte count was lower in the severe group (median IQR, 506 [389-943] vs. 782 [445-1483] cells/ l, I p i = .0372); likewise, CD8 count was depleted in the severe group (median IQR, 132 [103-344] vs. 289 [143-537] cells/ l, I p i = .0471). Increased CD4/CD8 ratio as a risk factor for critical illness in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): a retrospective multicentre study.
