On peripheral blood smear, the
WBC differential count showed 60% neutrophils, 33% lymphocytes, 3% eosinophils, and 4% monocytes.
(5) Another new channel, a
WBC differential channel (WDF), for
WBC differential counts, is now included; a similar channel was also used in the XE series, but the WDF in the XN series includes the basophil count.
The patient's baseline
WBC differential count, which was conducted before the start of methimazole treatment, was in a normal range (WBC, 6920/[micro]L and neutrophil count, 412/[micro]L).
WBC differentials were not available for 19 (0.3%) participants, resulting in a
WBC differential study population of 6,235.

In a study comparing blood samples from the orbital venous plexus and the sublingual vein, good agreement was found in the WBC count, heterophil and lymphocyte counts, the
WBC differential values for heterophils and lymphocytes, PCV, and aspartate aminotransferase, creatine phosphokinase, cholesterol, hemoglobin, serum chloride, and total protein concentrations when comparing the 2 sites.
The
WBC differential demonstrated a left shift with 2% peripheral blasts.
The
WBC differential was composed of neutrophils (79.2%), lymphocytes (16.4%), monocytes (3.5%), and basophils (0.1%).
The Coulter VCS technology establishes the
WBC differential using 3 measurements: individual cell volume, high-frequency conductivity, and laser-light scatter.
Laboratory work up including full blood count (Hb,
WBC differential & platelet count), blood culture, coagulation studies, renal profile (BUSE [3], Creatinine), CRP, and autoantibody screen (ANA, ANCA to rule out collagen vascular diseases) yielded normal results.
