Underestimation of Luminal Eosinophilia by Quantitative Sputum Cytometry
2021-03-15
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Rationale: </bold>On Wright-stained sputum cytospins, eosinophil differential of >1.2% is considered abnormal and ≥3% clinically relevant. We hypothesized that failure to consider free eosinophil granules (FEG), and the re-emergence of eosinophilia (at ≥1.2 and ≥2.3%) underestimate the prevalence of the eosinophilic phenotype.<bold>Methods:</bold> This is a retrospective analysis...
