Results: There was a statistically significant difference between manual count and hemogram mode (for peritoneal fluids p 100 cells/mL.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: Total white blood cell (WBC) count in body fluids (BF) is important in diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases.
📊
Key Findings & Data:We aimed to compare hemogram and BF modes of Mindray BC-6800 hematology analyzer with the manual hemocytometry method for determination of total WBC count in peritoneal and pleural fluids.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Results: There was a statistically significant difference between manual count and hemogram mode (for peritoneal fluids p 100 cells/mL.
Objective: Total white blood cell (WBC) count in body fluids (BF) is important in diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases. We aimed to compare hemogram and BF modes of Mindray BC-6800 hematology analyzer with the manual hemocytometry method for determination of total WBC count in peritoneal and pleural fluids. Method: Our study consisted of a total of 143 specimens, 109 peritoneal fluid and 34 pleural effusion fluid. Each sample was analyzed consecutively twice, first with the manual method and, later with both hemogram mode and the BF mode of Mindray BC-6800 automated hematology analyzer. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between manual count and hemogram mode (for peritoneal fluids p 100 cells/mL.
