The results of the pooled analysis attest that the eosinophil count was not found to be significantly different between patients with or without severe COVID-19 (WMD, -0.01×109 ; 95% CI, -0.07 to 0.04×109; I2, 0%; p=0.99). Despite the still limited volume of data on eosinophil count in patients with COVID-19, the results of our systematic literature review and pooled analysis suggest that eosinopenia may not be associated with unfavorable progression of COVID-19.

Abstract

The results of the pooled analysis attest that the eosinophil count was not found to be significantly different between patients with or without severe COVID-19 (WMD, -0.01×109 ; 95% CI, -0.07 to 0.04×109; I2, 0%; p=0.99). Despite the still limited volume of data on eosinophil count in patients with COVID-19, the results of our systematic literature review and pooled analysis suggest that eosinopenia may not be associated with unfavorable progression of COVID-19.
