متن کاملRestoring satisfactory status in ThinPrep Pap test specimens with too few squamous cells and containing microscopic red blood cells.
Treatment of specimens that contain excessive blood can effectively reduce the unsatisfactory rate; however, a considerable number of unsatisfactory specimens remain. We evaluated the effectiveness of reprocessing unsatisfactory specimens that had too few squamous cells and contained microscopic red blood cells (TFSQRBC).Out of the 688 unsatisfactory specimens at microscopic screening, 197 (28....
