Abstract

In this project we intend to make a rapid approach to the status of lymphocyte populations and the inflammation process in positive COVID19 patients with and without symptoms compared to negative COVID19 patients. With the hypothesis that immunosenescence is playing a role in the susceptibility to being infected, the studies will be carried out in different age ranges (30-40 / 40-50 / 50-60 / older than 60). In the case of COVID19 positive patients, the immunosenescence and inflammation profiles at the time of diagnosis will be correlated with the clinical variables for monitoring the disease in search of prognostic markers of evolution.
