Although we did not observe any difference in the levels of CD14+ HLA‐DR‐ immunosuppressive monocytes (Figure 2B), our results concerning survivors are in accordance with recent studies demonstrating that severe COVID‐19 cases showed profound dysregulation of the circulating monocyte subsets, leading to the downregulation of HLA‐DR and, consequently, the accumulation of dysfunctional CD14+ HLA‐DRlo monocytes.9, 11, 16. Here, CD14 is linked to COVID-19.
