Usefulness of neut-x determination in routine diagnostic procedures: application to myelodysplastic syndromes
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) often go unnoticed when only a complete blood count is performed on the patient. Sysmex X-Class analysers can measure the granularity of leukocytes which is often reduced in MDS. NEUT-X, the measure of neutrophil granularity, is an excellent tool to filter samples suspected of MDS in anaemic patients.
