%X COVID-19 is characterized by a strong inflammatory response leading to specific changes in the immune system cell counts. In this study, the following biomarkers from the laboratory data of COVID-19 patients have been analyzed: white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, C-reactive protein, and glycemia. Various comparisons, correlations, and ratios between these inflammatory biomarkers have been performed to assess the link between pre-existing conditions and the various blood markers, as well as the disease severity. WBC, neutrophils, C-reactive protein, and glycemia had high levels in more than 60-70% of the patients, although diabetic patients had even higher glycemia levels (p
