Interpretive flags infer the presence of distributional abnormalities such as leukocytosis.
Table 14. Interpretive Flags
Morphological flags are raised when the presence of morphologically abnormal cell types such as immature granulocytes are
suspected.
The count in the region of (low - high angle scatter of Abacus 5)
where the Immature granulocyte typically located is > 3% of the
total WBC count.
Perform a manual count on a stained smear.
The count in the region of (low - high angle scatter of Abacus 5)
where the atypical lymphocytes typically located is > 1% of the
total WBC count.
