Comparison of abnormal cell flagging of the hematology analyzers Sysmex XN and Sysmex XE-5000 in oncohematologic patients.

CONCLUSION: XN analyzer has improved blast detection in oncohematologic patients. Operators cannot rely on the blast flag alone but have to consider other flags and hemogram data. In lymphoproliferative disorders, XN analyzer yields less samples with pseudobasophilia. Both analyzers must improve flagging for hairy cell leukemia.
