    Snippet: The performance of eosinopenia as a predictor for SARS-CoV-2 infection was then determined in the presence of symptoms ( Table 2 ). The inclusion of leukocyte counts (normal or decreased number) had no significant diagnostic value. Notably, the inclusion of eosinopenia remarkably improved the sensitivity and specificity to 78.8% and 64.2%, respectively, much higher than the inclusion of lymphopenia (48.1% and 52.8%).

    Document: The performance of eosinopenia as a predictor for SARS-CoV-2 infection was then determined in the presence of symptoms ( Table 2 ). The inclusion of leukocyte counts (normal or decreased number) had no significant diagnostic value. Notably, the inclusion of eosinopenia remarkably improved the sensitivity and specificity to 78.8% and 64.2%, respectively, much higher than the inclusion of lymphopenia (48.1% and 52.8%). Further, the combination of other blood parameters (leukocytes and/ or lymphopenia) with eosinopenia increased selectivity but reduced sensitivity.
