Analytic variability in the enumeration of neutrophil subpopulations in canine blood

ConclusionsThe analytic variability of Hypo‐ and Young‐PMN is lower than that of Bands. This retrospective study did not allow us to investigate the diagnostic potential or the clinical relevance of these cells. However, the low inter‐ and intra‐observer variabilities with these cell populations suggest that the count of Hypo‐ or Young‐PMN may better identify acute inflammation than the count of Bands.
