Finally, paired results of these lymphocyte subpopulations from 10 PPN patients demonstrated that the number of T cells and B cells significantly increased when the SARS-CoV-2 tests turned negative. These results indicated that non-severe COVID-19 patients (PA group) have already dysregulated immune system at disease onset, and those with persistent SARS-CoV-2 shedding could restore this abnormality to certain level. Together, these results indicated that the abnormalities in adaptive immune cells, but not symptoms and laboratory indicators, were associated with SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA detection in non-severe COVID-19 patients. ./cache/cord-327405-xgtqfwyn.txt ./txt/cord-327405-xgtqfwyn.txt
