In the literature, articles suggest a lower prognostic accuracy of lymphopenia and an increased NLR in relation to CRP in distinguishing disease severity.(35) The accuracy of both hematological parameters seems to be impaired once their counts are influenced by factors such as infections by other pathogens or medications, such as glucocorticoids, which are the standard treatment for SARS-CoV-2 and were used in 98% of our population.(36). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and lymphopenia.
