Up until end of March 20, Seasonal Influenza and COVID-19 were simultaneously present in Europe. These two infections share similar clinical and biological features and co-infections can exist [ ]. [thelancet.com]
First, the present study was a retrospective study, so there were inherent problems related to this design. [dovepress.com]

Entire Body System
- Inflammation
Two chemotaxins of allergic inflammation, histamine and the tetrapeptide valine-glycine-serine-glutamic acid, did not cause significant eosinopenia. [jci.org]
During an acute inflammation, stress reaction stimulates adrenal glands to secrete corticosteroids, what may result in eosinopenia. [erj.ersjournals.com]

- Sepsis
Clinical as well as laboratory parameters in sepsis are not specific and the outcome of sepsis might be devastating if misdiagnosed. [adc.bmj.com]
Among which, 1152 individuals were diagnosed as sepsis, while the rest of 2690 individuals were considered as non-sepsis. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]

The authors found that <50 eosinophils/mm3 was a specific predictor for differentiating patients with sepsis versus systemic inflammatory response syndrome by other causes. [journals.lww.com]
Treatment
The risk of treatment failure and in-hospital mortality were significantly higher in patients with EP (p=0.02 and 0.01, respectively). [erj.ersjournals.com]
Treatment The length of hospital stay was similar between two groups (Table 3). But the eosinopenia group had higher hospital cost with statistical significance (median 20,598.00 vs 14,295.50, p=0.043). [dovepress.com]

This easily accessible parameter should be considered in the triage process to speed up the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients. [mdpi.com]
Prognosis
Conclusions Eosinopenia seems to be an early, rapid, available, inexpensive biological marker and correlates with the severity and the prognosis of the illness in severely infected children. [adc.bmj.com]

In one study (n = 55) including confirmed COVID-19 patients, eosinophil count was associated with poor prognosis [24]. [mdpi.com]
Etiology
Most of specific etiological causes of CAP, with the exception of respiratory viruses and Chlamydia pneumoniae, did not show significant seasonal variation.40 Conclusion Eosinopenia (<50/μL) was a strong predictor of 18-month mortality in hospitalized [dovepress.com]

Pathophysiology
Eosinopenia is quite common in sepsis, which indicates that there may be some undiscovered correlations between eosinopenia and the pathophysiology of sepsis. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]
Prevention
Heparinization to a higher level than is required for the prevention of blood clotting, done prior to the injection of hormones causing eosinopenia, abolishes or significantly diminishes circulating eosinopenia or may actually increase the number of circulating [joe.bioscientifica.com]
