ABSTRACT
The blood levels of neutrophils are associated with the severity of COVID -19. However, their role in the pulmonary environment during COVID -19 severity is not clear. Here, we found a decrease in the neutrophil count in BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) in non-survivors and in older patients (> 60 years). In addition, we have shown that older patients have higher serum concentration of CXCL8 and increased IL-10 expression by neutrophils.
