Analysis of Blood Biomarkers in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and with Asthma-COPD Overlap (ACO).

In conclusion, besides the expected eosinophilic inflammation in patients with ACO, both groups had low levels of lymphocytes, especially the non-ACO group. The low levels of lymphocytes, in particular in non-ACO patients, should be confirmed in larger studies. PMID: 32380914 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
