Detection of erythroid progenitors and erythrocytopathies in patients with severe COVID-19 disease
CONCLUSION: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 promoted the expansion of erythroid progenitors in the peripheral blood of COVID-19 patients. In addition, the expression of RBC surface markers was higher in COVID-19 patients. The expansion of erythroid progenitors and alteration of RBC surface markers can contribute to erythrocytopathies observed in severe COVID-19 patients and can therefore be used as prognostic factors.PMID:35964959 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2022.43.8.20220311
