Flow cytometric immunophenotyping of cerebrospinal fluid specimens.
Flow cytometric immunophenotyping (FCI) is recommended in the evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens for hematologic neoplasms. This study reviewed FCI of CSF specimens collected for primary diagnosis (n = 77) and follow-up for known malignancy (n = 153). FCI was positive in 11 (4.8%) of 230 specimens: acute myeloid leukemia, 6; precursor B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 2; B-cell lym...
متن کاملAutomated flow cytometric analysis of cerebrospinal fluid.
BACKGROUND Recently, the UF-100 (Sysmex Corporation) flow cytometer was developed to automate urinalysis. We evaluated the use of flow cytometry in the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). METHODS UF-100 data were correlated with microscopy and biochemical data for 256 CSF samples. Microbiological analysis was performed in 144 suspected cases of meningitis. RESULTS Good agreement was obta...
متن کاملClinical relevance of flow cytometric immunophenotyping of the cerebrospinal fluid in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
BACKGROUND Central nervous system (CNS) relapse is an uncommon but dramatic complication of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Several studies have demonstrated the superiority of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow cytometry (FCM), as compared with conventional cytology (CC), in detecting occult leptomeningeal disease. The clinical relevance of a positive FCM still has to be clarified. PATIEN...
متن کاملFlow cytometric immunophenotyping for hematologic neoplasms.
Flow cytometric immunophenotyping remains an indispensable tool for the diagnosis, classification, staging, and monitoring of hematologic neoplasms. The last 10 years have seen advances in flow cytometry instrumentation and availability of an expanded range of antibodies and fluorochromes that have improved our ability to identify different normal cell populations and recognize phenotypic aberr...
متن کاملFlow cytometric immunophenotyping of cancer cells in effusion specimens: diagnostic and research applications.
Flow cytometry (FCM) immunophenotyping is frequently used as an ancillary technique for the diagnosis of hematological malignancies or for measurement of DNA content. In recent years, we applied FCM to the diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma and malignant mesothelioma in effusions. We established a panel of antibodies that allows for rapid and effective differentiation between epithelial cel...
