Abstract:

Objective To investigate the significance of SYSMEX XE-5000 automatic blood analyzer for the routine determination of cerebrospinal fluid among children. Methods A total of 194 cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected and determined by XE-5000 and manual microscopy. The consistency was evaluated. Results When white blood cell(WBC) count was ≥30 cells/μL,there was no statistical significance between the 2 methods(P>0.05). However,when WBC count was <30 cells/μL,there was a statistical significance between the 2 methods(P<0.05). When WBC count was ≥10 cells/μL,there were good correlations in counting mononuclear cells and multinuclear cells between the 2 methods (P<0.01). When red blood cell(RBC) count was >1 000 cells/μL,there was a good correlation between the 2 methods(r=0.98,P<0.01). Conclusions XE-5000 can be used in the determination of cerebrospinal fluid among children,when WBC count is ≥30 cells/μL.
