Utility of automated counting to determine absolute neutrophil counts and absolute phagocyte counts for pediatric cancer treatment protocols

Cancer, 2004
AbstractBACKGROUNDAbsolute neutrophil counts (ANCs) and absolute phagocyte counts (APCs) are used to guide cancer treatment. Although automated counting could replace manual counting, data showing correlations are lacking. By analyzing blood samples from children undergoing cancer treatment, the authors determined whether ANCs and APCs obtained by ...

Absolute synovial polymorphonuclear neutrophil cell count as a biomarker of periprosthetic joint infection

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2023
AimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the absolute synovial polymorphonuclear neutrophil cell (PMN) count for the diagnosis or exclusion of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total hip (THA) or knee arthroplasty (TKA).MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 147 consecutive patients with acute or chronic ...

Impact of complete blood count sampling time change on white blood cell and absolute neutrophil count values in clozapine recipients.

Clinical Schizophrenia and Related Psychoses, 2011
INTRODUCTION Despite its superior efficacy, clozapine is typically reserved for treatment-refractory schizophrenia due to the risk of agranulocytosis with an occurrence of up to 1% in recipients.

Diagnosis of Neonatal Infection: Utilization of the Absolute Neutrophil Count

1989
Sepsis and pneumonia occur in one to two neonates per 1,000 live births in most nurseries in Western nations. Diagnosis of the newborn with suspected bacterial infection, however, continues to be a dilemma of significant concern, impacting not only the duration of antimicrobial therapy but also the duration and cost of hospitalization.

Absolute neutrophil counts and fibrinogen levels as an aid in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

Acta Cardiologica, 2004
A retrospective analysis of white blood cell (WBC) counts and fibrinogen levels was performed on 292 consecutive patients admitted to the emergency department for chest pain likely due to ischaemic heart disease. Aims of the study were to evaluate their utility in discriminating between cardiac and non-cardiac chest pain, and to identify those "chest ...

An algorithm for applying flagged Sysmex XE‐2100 absolute neutrophil counts in clinical practice

European Journal of Haematology, 2008
AbstractBackground:  Even though most differential leukocyte counts are performed by automated hematology platforms, turn‐around time is often prolonged as flagging of test results trigger additional confirmatory manual procedures. However, frequently only the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is needed.

Absolute Neutrophil Count in Cases of Pancytopenia.

The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, 2022
Pancytopenia is a common cause of hematological consultation. Common underlying causes include vitamin deficiency (vitamin B12, folic acid), drugs (hydroxyurea, phenytoin, methotrexate), and bone marrow failure syndrome. Aplastic anemia is one of the rarest hematological diseases and presents as pancytopenia. However, it is the most sinister one and is
