    Snippet: In summary, the present study analyzed the association between lymphocyte reduction at the early stage and prognosis of COVID-19 patients. We showed that older patients were more susceptible to lymphocyte reduction. Moreover, lymphocyte reduction on admission was positively associated with multiple organ injuries. In addition, lymphocyte reduction on admission elevated the severity and death risk of COVID-19 patients. Our results suggest that lym.....
    Document: In summary, the present study analyzed the association between lymphocyte reduction at the early stage and prognosis of COVID-19 patients. We showed that older patients were more susceptible to lymphocyte reduction. Moreover, lymphocyte reduction on admission was positively associated with multiple organ injuries. In addition, lymphocyte reduction on admission elevated the severity and death risk of COVID-19 patients. Our results suggest that lymphocytes may be a direct target of SARS-COV-2. We provide evidence that lymphocyte reduction at early stage may be a potential negative prognostic indicator for COVID-19 patients. Therefore, surveillance of lymphocyte count is helpful for the early screening, diagnosis and treatment of critical ill COVID-19 patients.
