Abstract

Introduction

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS–CoV–2), a fast spreading and disastrous global pandemic. We have studied changes in haematology parameters in COVID-19 infected patients. 

Objective / Aim: To assess haematological Parameters in COVID positive cases and analyse difference in profile of haematological parameters between categories of COVID positive cases. 

Methods

This is a laboratory observation retrospective study. All COVID RT-PCR (Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction) Positive cases from June 2020 to May 2022 was considered for the study. The haematology parameters of cases including blood group and ESR were captured from hospital records and analysed for the difference between mild (Category A), moderate (Category B) and severe cases (Category C). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 22. p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results 

Total WBC count, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), absolute eosinophil count (AEC), absolute monocyte count (AMC), platelet count, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte lymphocyte ratio (MLR), eosinophil lymphocyte ratio (ELR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) between the three categories of cases were statistically significant. The commonest blood group was O positive and majority of O positive cases were in Category C. 81.9% cases tested for ESR showed raised ESR.

Conclusion

Haematology parameters can be considered to predict progression of the disease and assess prognosis in COVID-19 infection. Total WBC count, ANC, ALC, AEC, AMC, platelet count, NLR, MLR, ELR and PLR can be considered while monitoring COVID-19 cases.

Introduction

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS–CoV–2), a fast spreading and disastrous global pandemic [1]. In December 2019, an outburst of COVID-19 occurred, caused by SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, China and briskly infected people across the globe. The novel virus was named as SARS-CoV-2 2019 by World Health Organization (WHO) due to 79% resemblance with SARS-CoV [2]. Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical features ranges from flu-like symptoms to multiple organ failure and death [3].

Various studies have indicated that the haematological parameters are markers of disease severity and advocated that the parameters arbitrate the progression of the disease.[4] There are less published information about the changes in haematology parameters in COVID-19 infected patients.[5] 

Ministry of Health and family welfare guidelines has classified COVID-19 as Mild (Category A), Moderate (Category B) and Severe (Category C) categories. Category C COVID is defined as the patients having fever ≥38°C (100.4°F), respiratory rate (RR) >30 breaths/min; severe respiratory distress; or pulse oximeter oxygen saturation ≤90% in room air and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) of >5. Category A patients are asymptomatic/patients with mild symptoms with RR <24>94% in room air and NLR 1-3. Category B patients are symptomatic patient with mild to moderate pneumonia with no signs of severe disease, RR 24-30/m or SPO2 90%-94% at room air and NLR 4-5.[6] Few studies have comprehensively analyzed haematological  parameters among patients with Category A, B and C COVID-19 infection.[7] Various studies stated that decreased platelet count is associated with severe COVID-19 and a higher mortality rate.[8,9,10,11,12] So finding efficacious haematological parameters for risk stratification and  predicting prognosis is a prime concern.

This is a retrospective analysis to unearth the role of the haematological parameters in COVID-19. Interpreting the changes in haematological parameters in SARS–CoV–2 infected patients may be helpful in understanding the pathophysiology of the disorder and could contribute timely clues to diagnosis and hopefully predicts the prognosis. 

Materials and methods

This is a laboratory observation retrospective cross section study for duration of six months from June 2020 to May 2022 performed at New Kamadhenu Hospital, a health care center, in Kolar, Karnataka. The objectives of the study were to assess haematological parameters in COVID positive cases and analyse difference in profile of haematological parameters between three categories of COVID positive cases.  All the cases positive for COVID test by RT-PCR (Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction) was considered for the study. The sociodemographic data of the all cases was captured from hospital records.

Data of haematological parameters (complete blood count) along with blood group and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was captured from laboratory for each case. Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte lymphocyte ratio (MLR), Eosinophil lymphocyte ratio (ELR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was calculated from the absolute values of each parameter of the case. All the cases were classified into three categories as per the Ministry of Health and family welfare guidelines as Category A, Category B and Category C. Alteration in haematological parameters, blood groups and ESR between categories was noted. 

The Data was entered in Microsoft excel sheet. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 22. Continuous variables were expressed as the mean and standard deviation. Categorical variables were presented as counts and percentages in each category. The unpaired Student’s t-test was used for continuous variables. Chi-square (χ) and Fisher’s exact tests was used for categorical variables. p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

Total number of cases analysed was 410 of which 284 (69.2%) cases were males and 126 (38.2%) females with male to female ratio of 2.2:1. Majority of cases were in the age group of 51-60 years (23.9%) and 41-50 years (21.7%) (Table 1).

Discussion

COVID-19 is a viral disease caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Haematology parameter abnormalities are noted in COVID-19 patients. In this study we have analysed RBC, WBC and platelet parameters between categories A, B and C of COVID RT-PCR positive cases.

In the present study all the RBC indices (Table 5) was normal except in 20 cases (4.8percentage cases) of which 16 cases showed MCV ranging from 57 to 77 fL and 4 cases showed MCV ranging from 102-104 fL. Other cases showed normal RBC indices. This finding was comparable to study done by Lu Chong et al which also showed decrease in MCV values in 9percentage cases.[13]


In present study anaemia was noted in 53 cases (12.9percentage). This finding was comparable to the study done by Helms J et al which also showed 12percentage cases with anaemia.[14] In a study by Tang et al, haemoglobin was decreased in 51percentage of cases with SARS-CoV-2 infection.[7] Decreased haemoglobin was reported to be more marked in Category C.[15] In a study by Zhou et al, no difference was observed  in the incidence of anaemia between categories, but  the haemoglobin decreased significantly in more severe cases.[8]

In a study by Li Q et al, 4.14percentage (17 cases) of the patients had leukopenia (less than4.0×109 /L) whereas in a study by Liu et al leukopenia was observed in 33percentage cases.[16] In the present study, total WBC count was decreased in Category B and C cases compared with Category A cases. 

Liu J et al reported that most of the COVID-19 ICU cases had absolute neutrophilia which showed that neutrophilia is an indicator of disease progression.[17] In the present study 393 cases showed absolute neutrophilia (95percentagecases). The absolute neutrophilia between categories was statistically significant (p value less than0.0001) with neutrophilia increasing from Category A to Category B to Category C. A study by Wu CM et al reported that, among the laboratory parameters of COVID-19 patients, 34.5percentage of patients with ARDS developed higher neutrophil count than those without ARDS and it was statistically significant (p value less than0.001).[18] Increase in neutrophil count is usually associated with activation of neutrophils which is required for immune response to fight against the virus. However high neutrophil count results in cytokine storm which leads to severe disease with clinical manifestation.[18] Other studies report that neutrophilia is due to cytokine storm. Coronavirus binds to ACE-2 receptors present on type-2 pneumocytes and releases cytokines especially IL-6 causing cytokine storm which subsequently induces and recruits more neutrophils which could be one of the causes for neutrophilia. Increase in number of neutrophils causes suppression and reduction in other WBCs as lymphocytes, eosinophils and monocytes.[19]

The present study showed lymphopenia (less than1.0×109/L) in 60.2percentage cases (247 cases). The ALC decreased from Category A to B to C with SARS and it was statistically significant (p value less than0.0001). Usually, lymphopenia occurs with leucopenia. Lymphopenia can occur even with normal WBC count. Zhongnan Hospital affiliated to Wuhan university reported lymphopenia in 138 patients (70.3percentage) with COVID-19.[20] A study by Wu C et al reported that in 50percentage cases of COVID 19 initial laboratory investigation showed lymphopenia (64percentage).[18] Lymphocytes are the crucial antiviral cells. The lymphocyte count is reported to continuously decline in severe COVID ICU patients in a study by Zhang et al. [20] A study done by Singh et al suggests that the cause of lymphopenia could be due to expression of ACE-2 receptors on lymphocytes in lungs and due to viral cytopathic effect resulting in lysis of lymphocytes and resulting in lymphopenia.[21] Among the cases which showed lymphopenia in present the study, most of the cases were in Category C indicating the disease progression.

In the present study eosinopenia was observed in all categories of COVID-19 cases and eosinophil count was statistically significant between the categories with p value less than0.001. In the present study 150 cases (36percentage) showed eosinopenia of which 130 cases (86percentage) were in Category C. A study by Yang M et al reported that eosinopenia was observed in severe COVID-19 cases and it improved on discharge of the patient. Thus, improvement of eosinopenia can serve as an indicator of improving clinical condition of the patient.[22] 

In the present study basophil count was decreased in all categories of COVID -19 cases and was unrelated to severity of the disease. But study done by Sun Y et al showed lower basophil count in severe COVID-19 cases.[23]

In the present study monocytes were decreased in all categories of COVID-19 and was unrelated to the severity of COVID-19. But study by Sun S. et al showed monocytopenia in severe COVID-19 cases. The cause for monocytopenia can be due to increase in neutrophils following cytokine storm suppressing all other WBCs.[19]

A study by Tang N et al has reported thrombocytopenia in 12percentage COVID cases, thrombocytosis in 3.9

Conclusion

Haematology parameters can be considered to predict progression of the disease and assess prognosis in COVID-19 infection. Total WBC count, ANC, ALC, AEC, AMC, platelet count, NLR, MLR, ELR and PLR can be considered while monitoring COVID-19 cases. O positive blood group cases and cases with raised ESR are to be monitored more carefully.
