Lecture Abstract

Cellular analysis of body fluids (i.e., ascitic, pleural, pericardial and synovial) can assist clinicians in the diagnosis of many medical conditions, providing information regarding inflammation, infection, haemorrhage and malignancy. Moreover, cell counting and classification in body fluids has become very popular in recent times, partly due to the availability of automated analysers. Not only do automated analysers reduce turnaround time (TAT), they are also available 24 hours a day and allow for objectivity.

This presentation aims to:
1) show how the analysis of body fluids is managed at Bergamo Hospital
2) show the potential of UF-5000 body fluid mode, complete with reportable features such as bacterial count
3) show how UF-5000 has been useful in some clinical cases
