  • Background: Little is known about changes in lymphocyte subsets after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: Clinical data of 580 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from 20 December 2019, to 8 March 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. The relation of lymphocyte subsets and severity or prognosis of disease were analyzed. Results: At 2–3 weeks after the onset of symptoms, lymphocyte subsets decreased to the lowest levels. The levels of lymphocyte subsets in asymptomatic patients were close to healthy persons, except for CD8(+) T lymphocyte cells. The levels of lymphocyte subsets in patients with severe illness were lower than that in patients with mild-to-moderate illness (P < 0.01). Similarly, among patients with severe illness, lower levels of lymphocyte subsets were found in dead patients compared to survivors (P < 0.001). Moreover, by comparing the results of the same patients at different stages of the disease, we found levels of lymphocyte subsets were lower in the acute phase compared to that in convalescent-phase (P < 0.001). However, the levels of lymphocyte subsets in patients who had SARS-CoV-2 viral load >5000 copies/ml and 500–5000 copies/ml were at similar levels. Conclusions: Lymphocyte subsets are a good biomarker to assess the severity and prognosis of the disease at 2–3 weeks after the onset of symptoms.
