Figure 2. Dynamic changes of eosinophil counts and LDH levels in
COVID-19 patients with chronic airway diseases. (A-D) Eosinophil counts
increased over time in non-severe and severe COVID-19 patients with
chronic bronchitis (n = 31), COPD (n = 18) and asthma (n = 10). (E-H)
LDH levels decreased over time in non-severe and severe COVID-19
patients with chronic bronchitis (n = 31), COPD (n = 18) and asthma (n =
10). Values of non-severe and severe patients were presented with open
and closed circles, respectively. Mann-Whitney U test was used. *p
< 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p
< 0.0001, compared with the eosinophil counts or LDH levels
between severe and non-severe patients.
