Enhanced accuracy of optical platelet counts in microcytic anemia.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether microcytic erythrocytes influence the accuracy of automated platelet (PLT) counting. METHODS We divided a total of 206 K2 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-anticoagulated blood samples into 4 groups, as follows: In group 1 (control group), normal mean corpuscular volume (MCV > 80 fL) and PLT count equal or greater than 140,000/microL (n = 45); group 2, norm...

We evaluated the most common indices to compare their sensitivity and specificity to introduce the most sensitive and specific index. We systematically searched five international indexing databases up to Dec 2018. For each index, we measured the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), as well as summary ROC (SROC) curve which was used to compare the performance of each index. Deeks̕ tests of all discrimin...

Microcytic Anemia Anemia is the most common hematologic abnormality that pediatricians encounter. The differential diagnosis for anemia in children includes congenital, acquired, benign, malignant, common, and extraordinarily rare disorders. Thankfully, most conditions cause consistent changes in the mean cell volume (MCV) of red blood cells (RBCs) and can be grouped by using this parameter. In...
متن کاملA case of microcytic anemia.
A 15-month-old male infant was admitted because of anemia lasting for a few months and delayed weight gain. There was no family history of anemia. At admission, the patient was pale but showed no other pathological findings. Hematological data were: Hb 8.6 g/dL, red cell count 4.8631012/L, Hct 28%, MCV 57.6 fL, MCH 17.7 pg, MCHC 30.7 g/dL, reticulocytes 1943109/L, white cell count 18.93109/L wi...

Any compendium of facts and factors that can weight or cast doubt on the quantitative significance of serum fernitin measurement as a measure of iron stores is not complete without mention of immunologic nonidentical isofernitins. Liven on spleen fernitin is used as the refenence standard and for the production of antibody, yet there is abundant evidence that the ferritin in serum is immunologi...
