Analysis of the platelet counting difference between optical method and electrical impedance method and the alarm information of instrument / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To compare the differences of platelet(PLT) count between the optical method (PLT‐O) and electrical impedance method (PLT‐I) ,using microscopic method (PLT‐M) as a standard method ,and to analyze the alarm information of in‐strument .Methods Both of PLT‐O and PLT‐M of 468 cases of patient specimens were detected by Sysmex XE‐2100 automatic hematocyte analyzer ,and which were compared with PLT‐M .The counts and morphology of red blood cells and platelets were de‐tected by microscopic method .The alarm information of red blood cells and platelets were recorded .Results In non‐hematopathy group ,there was no significant difference among PLT‐M ,PLT‐I and PLT‐O (P=0 .071) .In hematopathy group ,PLT‐I was signifi‐cantly different from both PLT‐M and PLT‐O (P0 .05) .There were 149 cases occurring platelets alarm and 127 cases occurring red blood cells alarm in hematopathy group , which was consistent with the results of microscopic method .Conclusion When the value of PLT is below the normal reference range ,counting error of PLT‐I is large and the value of PLT should be rechecked or corrected using PLT‐M and PLT‐O .Re‐exam‐ination should be performed when alarm information is displayed .

Correlação entre o hemocitômetro e outras técnicas de rotina para a contagem do número de plaquetas em cães atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Estadual de Londrina (H. V.-UEL) / Correlation between the haemocytometer and others routine techniques for platelet counting of dogs attended at Veterinary Hospital of Universidade Estadual de Londrina (V. H.-UEL)

Foram realizadas contagens plaquetárias em 30 cães para investigação diagnóstica. Para cada cão, foram obtidas contagens de plaquetas utilizando-se hemocitômetro manual e comparadas com contagens realizadas a partir da estimativa no esfregaço sangüíneo e pelo contador eletrônico por impedância MS4®. Nenhum dos dois métodos apresentou alta correlação com a contagem feita em câmara de Neubauer; o analisador por impedância apresentou a maior correlação.

Platelets counts were performed in 30 dogs for diagnostic investigation. For each dog, platelets countswere obtained using a manual haemocytometer and compared with counts obtained by estimation froma blood smear and a MS4® analyzer. None of the two methods gave high correlation with the countobtained by a Neubauer chamber. The analyzer gave the highest correlation.
