The present study is the first report testing the value of eosinopenia in the diagnosis of sepsis on admission to the ICU.
• Eosinopenia is a good diagnostic marker in distinguishing between noninfection and infection in newly admitted critically ill patients.
• Eosinopenia is a moderate marker in discriminating between SIRS and infection in newly admitted critically ill patients.
• Eosinopenia showed a higher sensitivity and specificity compared with CRP in the diagnosis of sepsis on admission to the ICU
• Eosinopenia may become a helpful clinical tool in ICU practices.
