Lymphopenia is seen in about 69.62% whereas thrombocytopenia is seen in about 20-50% patients.5 In one of the studies conducted in Bangladesh, it was observed that D-dimers, C-reactive protein and ferritin are good indicators of disease severity in patients with COVID-19 infection.1 Similar observations were observed in a study conducted in Iran which showed higher D-dimer and deranged coagulation profile along with thrombocytopenia and lymphopenia.6 The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is lymphopenia.
