Abstract of Lecture
New generation haematology analysers have improved capacity to detect phenotypical changes in leukocyte subsets, leading to a more comprehensive panel of blood cell makers. A combination of classic haemocytometric parameters, combined with the new innovative markers, may be used to build algorithms to differentiate causes of infectious diseases or develop scores to differentiate patients with severe disease from those with more favorable prognosis. For instance, haemocytometric changes in COVID-19 patients that eventually need intensive care treatment are different from those that can be managed conservatively: a principle used to develop a prognostic score based on an algorithm of haemocytometric parameters. In the webinar, the process underlying the new techniques are explained, with an overview of the new parameters given and how they can be used in infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
We hope you have enjoyed the webinar and gained new insights!
