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...
