Objectives
• Review the peripheral blood smear morphology of various abnormal leukocytes
• Interpret flow cytometry data from specimens with an abnormal WBC differential
• Review how morphologic, flow cytometric and genetic data are integrated to evaluate circulating abnormal leukocytes

Abstract of Lecture:

Flow cytometry and genetic testing have become integral tools in the work-up of haematologic disorders. In this webinar, Dr. Emily Mason and Dr. Chong Siew Lian will present a series of case studies that demonstrate the clinical utility of these technologies in the assessment of circulating abnormal leukocytes. The discussion will highlight the benefits of flow cytometry to quickly and accurately identify abnormal cell populations and guide further ancillary testing.
