Novel Hematological Parameters for Rapidly Monitoring Immune System Responses

Correctly diagnosing suspected inflammations and infections by clinical examination, biochemical markers and microbiological blood cultures is costly and time-consuming. A fast initial indication would be beneficial since this can point out the appropriate diagnostic tests, avoid unnecessary follow-up tests, and help start or modify treatment faster. Haematological inflammation parameters obtained from a routine blood count on Sysmex’s XN-Series analysers can provide quantitative information about the inflammatory reaction of the patient’s immune system.
