Highlight

  • Lower admission eosinophil counts correlate with increased ICU admissions and mechanical ventilation in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients.
  • An eosinophil count threshold of ≤10 cells/μL effectively stratifies patients at higher risk for greater hospital resource use.
  • Eosinopenia at admission also associates with longer hospital length of stay, independent of systemic glucocorticoid treatment.
  • Admission eosinophil count may serve as an accessible biomarker to guide healthcare resource allocation in CAP management.
