Introduction The emergence of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has led to over 400 million reported cases worldwide. COVID-19 disease ranges from asymptomatic infection severe and may be impacted by individual immune differences. Methods We used multiparameter flow cytometry compare CD4+ CD8+ T cell responses in (ICU admitted) non-severe (admitted observational unit) hospitalized patients. Results found that patients with COVID- 19 had greater frequencies cells expressing CD62L compared...
