SUMMARY
Quantitation of nucleated red blood cells ( NRBCs ) is easily performed with application of the Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer. In a case study of a subject with M6 erythroblast leukemia, the diagnosis and progression of disease activity was monitored until the final stage.
An obvious shift from orthochromatic erythroblasts towards immature pro-erythroblasts was depicted in sequential scattergrams. Results demonstrate that Sysmex XE-2100 test methodology can be used for diagnosis and establishing the effect of therapy.
