Novel parameters of extended complete blood cell count under fluorescence flow cytometry in patients with sepsis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We first describe a patient who developed urosepsis from an ordinary urinary tract infection. In this case, the new hematological parameters of immature leukocytes, that is, the high-fluorescence lymphocyte cell (HFLC) and immature granulocyte (IG) counts peaked early, whereas the established infection parameters, that is, C-reactive protein (CRP) and total white blood cell count showed less dynamic regarding infection and therapy.

Methods

To investigate this phenomenon in greater detail, the novel parameters HFLC and IG counts are investigated retrospectively in a cohort of 38 patients who were admitted to the anesthesia intensive care unit. Three groups of patients have been analyzed and compared: patients without signs of infection, patients with limited infect
