Abstract:

As a new viral infectious disease, COVID-19 has a very high infectivity and pathogenicity. Its pathogenesis is complex, and the human immune response induced resistance to the virus is very critical. T lymphocyte-mediated adaptive immunity plays an important role in virus clearance in the human body, and immune function getting impaired can also promote rapid progression of the disease. Therefore, we summarized and expounded the characteristic of changes of T lymphocyte subsets and the clinical significance of testing them in COVID-19 patients, to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognostic judgment.
