Number and maturation of reticulocytes in various genotypes of thalassaemia as assessed by flow cytometry.

Abstract excerpt

Ineffective erythropoiesis is a prominent defect leading to anaemic status in thalassaemic patients. Reticulocyte enumeration in the peripheral blood is a non-aggressive method of measuring bone marrow erythropoietic activity. We used an automated reticulocyte counter (Sysmex R-3000) to determine the number and maturation level of circulating reticulocytes among various types of thalassaemia: non-splenectomized...
