White blood cell count may predict severity of COVID-19

Study links long COVID severity with white blood cell count
Higher levels of leukocytes -- a form of white blood cell -- are associated with more severe symptoms of long COVID among older women, researchers reported.
White blood cell count may predict severity of COVID-19: Study
A COVID-19 diagnosis is no longer as frightening as it used to be, thanks to developments in treatment choices. However, a new study reveals that leukocyte (white blood cell) count may now be used to identify who is more likely to develop more significant disease symptoms.
White blood cell count could predict severity of COVID-19 symptoms in postmenopausal women
Thanks to advances in treatment options, a COVID-19 diagnosis is no longer as scary as it once was, at least for most people. A new study, however, suggests that it may now be easier to predict who is most likely to suffer with more serious disease symptoms based on leukocyte (white blood cell) count.
