Study links long COVID severity with white blood cell count
Higher levels of leukocytes -- a form of white blood cell -- are associated with more severe symptoms of long COVID among older women, researchers reported.
White blood cell count may predict severity of COVID-19: Study
A COVID-19 diagnosis is no longer as frightening as it used to be, thanks to developments in treatment choices. However, a new study reveals that leukocyte (white blood cell) count may now be used to identify who is more likely to develop more significant disease symptoms.

A new international study reveals that leukocyte count could be a key indicator in determining long-term Covid-19 effects in postmenopausal women.
White blood cell count could predict severity of COVID-19 symptoms in postmenopausal women
Thanks to advances in treatment options, a COVID-19 diagnosis is no longer as scary as it once was, at least for most people. A new study, however, suggests that it may now be easier to predict who is most likely to suffer with more serious disease symptoms based on leukocyte (white blood cell) count.
