Accurate automated leucocyte differential counts despite profound leucopenia.

چکیده
The differential white cell counts produced by the Technicon H*1 Autoanalyser in profoundly leucopenic specimens were compared with those carried out by manual differential counting by light microscopy of peripheral blood smears stained with May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain. The correlation achieved allowed the H*1 derived differential count to be reported with confidence.

Fetal leucocyte count in rhesus disease.
The effect of fetal anaemia on the total and differential leucocyte counts was studied by examining blood samples obtained by cordocentesis from 177 previously untransfused rhesus affected fetuses at 17-36 weeks' gestation. The mean fetal total leucocyte, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts were significantly lower than the corresponding values in normal controls and there were significant associat...
متن کاملLeucopenia resulting from a drug interaction between azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine and mesalamine, sulphasalazine, or balsalazide.
AIM We evaluated the effect of coadministration of sulphasalazine, mesalamine, and balsalazide on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine. METHODS Thirty four patients with Crohn's disease receiving azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine were enrolled in an eight week non-randomised parallel group drug interaction study and treated with mesalamine 4 g/day, sul...
متن کاملPerformance of the XE-2100 leucocyte differential.
The XE-2100 trade mark was evaluated in a multicentre study following a previously established protocol. In this paper, we demonstrate the results of analytical performance studies, including comparison of the leucocyte differential with the NCCLS H20-A method and evaluation of flagging sensitivity. Linearity of the leucocyte count over a wide clinical range, low imprecision in clinically impor...
متن کاملThe role of haematological parameters in predicting malaria with special emphasis on neutrophil lymphocyte count ratio and monocyte lymphocyte ratio: A single Institutional experience
INTRODUCTION Malaria is a mosquito borne disease which is a major public health problem and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Various haematological parameters have been studied to help predict malaria, such as alteration in the leucocyte count, platelet counts and erythrocyte counts. The neutrophil lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) was found to have a good predictive value in s...
متن کاملEffects of Municipal Solid Waste Leachate on Leucocyte and Differential Counts in Rats
This study investigated the immunotoxic potentials of raw and simulated leachates from Olushosun municipal solid waste landfill in rat using quantitative leucocyte and differential counts. Blood samples of rats intraperitoneally exposed to 1 – 25 % concentrations of each of the leachate samples for 48 hours were examined post treatment for leukocyte and differential counts. Compared to the nega...
