Abstract

Sometimes EDTA blood of erythrocyte agglutination cannot be well resolved by incubation at 37°C. In this case report, however, such a specimen was detected from a lymphoma patient at room temperature by using RBC-O and S-MCV parameters of the SYSMEX XE-2100 hematology analyzer. The specimen was diluted with 0.9% NaCL solution at 1:1 before measurement. HCT, MCV, and MCHC, corrected by RBC-O, HGB and S-MCV, were all in their normal ranges. This case indicates that RBC-O and S-MCV parameters of XE-2100 can be used in the routine blood examination of erythrocyte agglutination specimen at room temperature.
