Leukocyte counts in cerebrospinal fluid with the automated hematology analyzer CellDyn 3500 and the urine flow cytometer UF-100.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The counting of leukocytes and erythrocytes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is still performed microscopically, e.g., using a chamber in most laboratories. This requires sufficient practical experience, is time-consuming, and may constitute a problem in emergency diagnostics. Specific automated systems for CSF cell counting are not available at present. METHODS:We tested the hematology analyzer CellDyn 3500 (CD) and the urine flow cytometer UF-100 (UF), which are not designed for CSF analysis. We studied >104 samples with both analyzers, and the counts obtained were compared with the reference method (Fuchs-Rosenthal chamber). RESULTS:Good linearity in the medically relevant range of 15 x 10(6) to 1000 x 10(6) leukocytes/L and a high degree of within-run accuracy were seen for both analyzers. Cell counting on the UF was excellent, especially when low cell counts were encountered (CV, 4. 9% compared with 28% observed for the CD). Method comparison showed that identical results could be detected for a majority of the count pairs. For a few samples, there was a discrepancy between the results from the analyzers and the counting chamber. In most cases, these were CSF samples containing a high proportion of lymphocytes. For these samples, the CD result led to a false-positive high leukocyte count, and on the UF these cells were not allocated to the leukocyte population, thus leading to false-negative counts. CONCLUSIONS:Both analyzers should not be used for CSF cell counting in all cases at present. However, once the technical and software problems have been solved, routine use of the two analyzers for CSF analysis should be seriously contemplated.

  • Incidental Detection of Maternal Neoplasia in Noninvasive Prenatal Testing.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) uses cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as an analyte to detect copy-number alterations in the fetal genome. Because maternal and fetal cfDNA contributions are comingled, changes in the maternal genome can manifest as abnormal NIPT results. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) present in case...
