	<abstract>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aims:&lt;/strong&gt; Eosinopenia is a form of agranulocytosis where the number of eosinophil granulocytes is lower than expected, which is observed in many viral and bacterial infections. This study aimed to investigate eosinopenia in non-respiratory COVID-19 patients.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Materials &amp; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This experimental study was conducted on COVID-19 patients who had the positive PCR test in an outpatient clinic in Al-Feiha Teaching Hospital in Basrah, Iraq. One hundred four patients were selected from June to November 2020. Full blood counts and estimation of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein were done. The Chi-square statistical test in SPSS 20 software was used for data analysis.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Findings: &lt;/strong&gt;Eosinopenia observed in 47 patients (45.1%); 20 patients (19%) were respiratory COVID-19 and 27 patients (26%) were non-respiratory COVID-19. Total white blood cell count reduced in 17 patients &amp; increased in 30 patients while normal in 57 patients. Logistic regression analysis indicated that eosinopenia is a significant independent predictor of non-respiratory COVID-19 infection (p=0.008; B=0.0001).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Eosinopenia is a predictor of COVID-19 infection in patients with non-respiratory illnesses.&lt;br&gt;
