Here we report a case of platelet count interference in Beckman Coulter DxH800 haematology analyser due to cytoplasmic fragments of leukaemic cells in acute myeloid leukaemia. A 19\u2010year\u2010old female patient presented to the emergency department with bruises and anaemic symptoms. A machine platelet count (by impedance method) was 40\u2009\u00d7\u200910<jats:sup>9<\/jats:sup>\/L. There was a flag on platelet count interference by debris. Peripheral blood smear showed some bluish cytoplasmic fragments are seen mimicking platelets.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Immunological platelet counting by flow cytometry using fluorochrome\u2010labeled antibodies against platelet markers CD41 and CD61 was attempted by adopting and modifying from the ICSH reference method for platelet counting. Events with low forward scatter and positive CD41 and\/or CD61 expression were identified as platelets, and events with high forward scatter and negative CD41 and CD61 expression were identified as red cells.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The platelet count was derived from the formula: Platelet count\u00a0=\u00a0RBC count (Haematology analyser)\u2009\u00d7\u2009PLT event (flow cytometry)\/RBC events (flow cytometry). The immunological platelet count was determined to be 2\u2009\u00d7\u200910<jats:sup>9<\/jats:sup>\/L, which is much lower than the original machine count and platelet transfusion was warranted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ijlh.13859","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,4]],"date-time":"2022-05-04T01:35:35Z","timestamp":1651628135000},"page":"983-985","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Resolution of platelet count interference due to cytoplasmic fragments of leukaemic cells by flow cytometry in acute myeloid leukaemia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"44","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6454-5729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wing Kit","family":"Lam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Haematology, Department of Clinical Pathology Tuen Mun Hospital  Tuen Mun Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yim Fong Winnie","family":"Law","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Haematology, Department of Clinical Pathology Tuen Mun Hospital  Tuen Mun Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sze Fai","family":"Yip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Haematology, Department of Clinical Pathology Tuen Mun Hospital  Tuen Mun Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309\/W612-MYEP-FA7U-8UYA"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9030808"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Laboratory Hematology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/ijlh.13859","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/ijlh.13859","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/ijlh.13859","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,22]],"date-time":"2023-08-22T04:06:05Z","timestamp":1692677165000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/ijlh.13859"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,3]]},"references-count":2,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/ijlh.13859"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/ijlh.13859","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1751-5521","1751-553X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1751-5521","type":"print"},{"value":"1751-553X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,3]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2022-03-05","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2022-04-13","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2022-05-03","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
