To our knowledge, this was the first study to count and compare the numbers of high fluorescent lymphocytes in different severity of COVID-19 This study may provide insight into understanding the interaction of B cells with SARS-CoV-2 and a clue to monitoring disease severity in COVID-19 patients. Lymphocyte counts were significantly lower in mild and severe COVID-19 patients compared with healthy controls (1400 x 10 6 /L and 820 x 10 6 /L vs 2100 x 10 6 /L, P < 0.0001). HFL counts were significantly higher in mild and severe COVID-19 patients compared with healthy controls (11.8 x 10 6 /L and 20.4 x 10 6 /L vs 0.0 x 10 6 /L, P < 0.0001). Study found that the levels of antibodies specific to SARS-Cov-2 were higher in severe patients . ./cache/cord-262909-pixroj1k.txt ./txt/cord-262909-pixroj1k.txt
