The use of CD169 as a marker viral infection has been widely discussed in the context COVID-19, and particular, its crucial role early detection SARS-CoV-2 association with severity clinical outcome COVID-19 were demonstrated. patients show relevant systemic alteration immunological dysfunction that persists individuals post-acute sequelae (PASC). It is critical to implement characterization disease, focusing also on possible impact different waves consequent effects found after infection. On this basis, we evaluated by flow cytometry expression HLA-DR monocytes from PASC better elucidate their involvement dysfunction, evaluating pandemic waves. results confirm RMFI good Moreover, showed high percentage CD169+ monocytes, but low HLA-DR+ inflammatory indices. We have observed alterations indices inflammation upon persistence specific myeloid subpopulations suggests disease chronic post-infection inflammation, opening new opportunities evaluate immune response impairment perspective provide tools monitoring variants diseases associated emerging respiratory viruses.

Clinical and hematological characteristics of children infected with the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2: role of the combination of the neutrophil: lymphocyte ratio and eosinophil count in distinguishing severe COVID-19

Frontiers in Pediatrics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: June 24, 2024

Purpose Investigate the clinical/hematological characteristics of children infected with Omicron variant severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and identify an effective indicator to distinguish coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity in children. Methods A retrospective study was conducted through electronic medical records from pediatric patients. The demographic, clinical, routine blood test (RBT) features diagnosed by real-time PCR for SARS-CoV-2 were collected. Results Data 261 patients analyzed. most common abnormality shown RBTs increased monocyte count (68%). Children had “mild-moderate” or “severe” forms COVID-19. Prevalence abnormal neutrophil ( p = 0.048), eosinophil 0.006), mean corpuscular volume 0.033), platelet platelet-large cell ratio 0.043), red distribution width-standard deviation 0.031) significantly different two types. combination neutrophil: lymphocyte (NLR) diagnosing COVID-19 presented largest AUC (0.688, 95% CI 0.599–0.777; < 0.001), a decrease age. Conclusions Combination NLR might be promising identifying at infection onset.

A New Laboratory Tool for COVID-19 Severity Prediction, CENIL Score

Diagnostics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(22), P. 2557 - 2557

Published: Nov. 14, 2024

Several studies investigated the risk factors for severe COVID-19-related outcomes. Early identification and proper treatment of COVID-19 patients who may develop pneumonia are crucial. The aim this study was to detect importance laboratory parameters prediction in patients. This retrospective cohort included patients' at admission. Biochemical, hematological, coagulation, inflammatory values were compared between non-severe groups. A total 534 screened, 472 them study. mean age 64 (±3.1) years; 242 (51.3%) men. 204 (43.2%) diagnosed as cases. independent predictors illness C-reactive peptide, Eosinophil, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, interleukin-6, lactate dehydrogenase. These named CENIL scores from 0 5 points. findings indicate that these biomarkers identified tend increase progressively with disease severity Additionally, score a specific cut-off value 3, highlighting it critical threshold identifying high progression. In study, we biomarkers-including CRP, eosinophil count, NLR, IL-6, LDH-named can help predict likelihood diagnosis. Clinicians be more vigilant regarding development scores, guided by clinical radiological findings.

Severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) is a serious respiratory inflammation disease with high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR), basophil-to-lymphocyte (BLR) eosinophil-to-lymphocyte (ELR) in patients SCAP. The retrospectively included 554 SCAP, clinical data were obtained from electronic patient record (EMR) system. primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, secondary outcomes hospital length stay (LOS), overall survival (OS), admission ICU, ICU LOS, results showed that both NLR BLR significant but not independent factors for mortality; negatively correlated LOS while ELR positively LOS; increased associated reduced OS, improved OS; PLR, NLR, MLR, all elevated rates, rate; higher In summary, useful

Ally, adversary, or arbitrator? The context-dependent role of eosinophils in vaccination for respiratory viruses and subsequent breakthrough infections

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 30, 2024

Abstract Eosinophils are a critical type of immune cell and central players in 2 immunity. Existing literature suggests that eosinophils also can play role host antiviral responses, typically 1 events, against multiple respiratory viruses, both directly through release mediators indirectly activation other effector types. One way to prime responses toward effective is vaccination, where 1–skewed immunity desirable the context intracellular pathogens like viruses. In realm breakthrough viral infection vaccinated hosts, an event which virus still establish productive despite preexisting immunity, most prominently known for their link vaccine-associated enhanced disease upon natural syncytial infection. This was observed pediatric cohort during 1960s following vaccination with formalin-inactivated virus. More recent research has unveiled additional roles eosinophil The specific contribution quality vaccine efficacy, hosts remains largely unexplored, especially regarding potential protection. On basis current findings, we will speculate suggested function consider many ways by may exert protective pathological effects infections. We discuss how balance efficacy eosinophil-related risks, as well use products biomarkers or adverse events.

Allergic asthma is a widely prevalent inflammatory condition affecting people across the globe. T cells and their secretory cytokines are central to pathogenesis of allergic asthma. Here, we have evaluated anti-inflammatory impact dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in with more focus on determining its effect cell responses By utilizing ovalbumin (OVA)-induced model, observed that DMF administration reduced symptoms IgE levels OVA-induced mice model. Histopathological analysis showed treatment an animal model eased inflammation nasal bronchial tissues, particular decrease infiltration immune cells. Additionally, RT-qPCR exhibited expression cytokine (IL4, IL13, IL17) while augmenting IL10 Foxp3 (forkhead box protein 3). Mechanistically, found increased by exacerbating nuclear factor E2-related 2 (Nrf2), in-vitro activation Foxp3+ Tregs leads escalated Nrf2. Notably, CD4-specific Nrf2 deletion intensified iTreg differentiation. Meanwhile, failed exert protective effects knock-out mice.
