Abstract

Background: The pathogenesis of COVID-19 involves complex immunological processes that can predispose to disease severity. In COVID-19 patients, there will be changes in the number of CD4 + and CD8 + cells which are part of lymphocyte cells in the specific immune system. This study aims to see the relationship between CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts in COVID- 19 patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang, Indonesia. Methods: This research is an observational study with a case series approach. A total of 30 study subjects who were COVID-19 patients participated in this study. The number of CD4+ and CD8+ cells was assessed, then correlation analysis was performed with the Spearman test, p<0.05. Results: The correlation between CD4+ and CD8+ has a value of R = 0.875 and p<0.01. This shows that CD4+ and CD8+ have a strong positive correlation and are statistically significant. Conclusion: The increase in the number of CD4+ cells will be followed by an increase in the number of CD8+ cells in COVID-19 patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: The rRT-PCR examination is very effective as a diagnostic tool for COVID-19 but cannot be a full reference as an evaluation examination because rRT-PCR is able to capture the genetic material of the virus without ensuring that the virus is still alive or only dead particles. This study aims to explore the correlation between absolute lymphocyte values and the severity of COVID-19 at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. Methods: This study is an observational study involving 413 research subjects at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate. Results: The absolute number of lymphocytes with the severity of COVID-19 has a negative correlation, with a strong correlation strength, which is expressed by the value of r = -0.617 and the degree of significance of p = 0.000. Conclusion: There is a correlation between absolute lymphocyte count and the severity of COVID-19 at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang.
