| | On the other hand, routinely performed laboratory tests in the work-up of febrile patients, e.g., automated full blood counts, have so far detected only nonspecific changes, such as anemia or thrombocytopenia, which are associated with many other conditions (6). | | | If further studies validate this technique, the instrument could be modified to specifically flag such results, which would alert laboratory staff to perform blood films on these samples, even in the absence of a clinician's request. | | | In cases 1 and 3, the patients were discharged with a clinical diagnosis of flulike syndrome and drug abuse-related problems, respectively, while in case 2, the patient was to be admitted with a diagnosis of assault-related injuries. |
