Differential blast counts obtained by automated blood cell analyzers.
BACKGROUND Automated blood cell analyzers often read leukemic blasts as normal cells. In this study, we evaluated the 5-part differential patterns of blasts using automated analyzers to determine if they can differentiate among blast types. METHODS Blood samples containing 10% or more blasts were collected from patients with acute leukemia (N=175). The 5-part differential count was conducted ...
متن کاملLaboratory identification of cryoglobulinemia from automated blood cell counts, fresh blood samples, and blood films.
Four cases showing different means to detect cryoglobulins are reported: effects on blood cell counts performed on 2 technologically different automated hematology instruments and microscopic features in fresh blood samples and on May-Grünwald-Giemsa-stained bloodfilms. These cases were chosen for their instructive value in depicting all artifacts associated with cryoglobulins. Laboratory recog...
متن کاملAutomated blood counts and identification of thalassemia carriers.
Sir, I read the article by Kakkar et al., with great excitement.[1] The authors emphasize that clinicians overlook the red cell abnormalities on automated blood counts and also misinterpret the abnormal red cell parameters (they either do not carry out further evaluation for excluding thalassemia or misinterpret microcytosis as iron deficiency). This situation was also brought to the attention ...
متن کاملWhite blood cell counts and malaria.
White blood cells (WBCs) were counted in 4697 individuals who presented to outpatient malaria clinics in Maesod, Tak Province, Thailand, and Iquitos, Peru, between 28 May and 28 August 1998 and between 17 May and 9 July 1999. At each site and in each year, WBC counts in the Plasmodium falciparum-infected patients were lower than those in the Plasmodium vivax-infected patients, which, in turn, w...
متن کاملEvaluation of total and differential white blood cell counts in workers exposed to lead
Introduction: Lead is a toxic heavy metal that has adverse health effects on blood parameters. About 80% of lead produced is used in batteries, especially vehicle batteries. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the hematological changes, including total and differential white blood cell (WBC) counts in battery workers exposed to lead, and compare with the non-exposed group. Materials a...
