The initial symptoms of covid-19 and influenza are very similar.
\nIs RT-PCR or antibody testing the only way to distinguish between these two infections?<\/p>\n

Sapienza Univ. of Rome’s group has reported that the absolute count of monocytes, a type of leukocyte, is a good discriminating index between the two.
\nhttps:\/\/www.infezmed.it\/media\/journal\/Vol_28_4_2020_9.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

If the absolute count of monocytes is 0.35×10^3\/mL or more, COVID-19 can be distinguished from influenza A\/B. AUC=0.68 (sensitivity=0.992, specificity=0.368)<\/p>\n

This strongly suggests that covid-19 and influenza A\/B have different immune responses.<\/p>\n
