Background Leukocyte counts and differentials are commonly acquired in patients with
suspected respiratory viral infections and may contribute diagnostic information. However,
most published work is limited to a single timepoint at initial presentation to a medical
provider, which may correspond to widely varying points in the course of disease. Objectives
To examine the temporal development and time-dependent utility of routine leukocyte
differentials in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infections. Study design We analyzed data …
